The Park City Experience ft. the Lanskys.

When we went to our friends the Lansky's house in Park City, Utah this week, it was mainly for my brother Collin to go to a camp at the National Ability Center with his friend named Aaron for a week. This week held WAY more than just a camp that was for them. We had to fly out on Saturday and that was by far the worst part of the whole week. We got to the airport at about 11:15 and did not leave until around 6:15. After we got on the plane, we sat there for a very long time until the pilot told us that someone forgot to fill the gas for the plane. About forty five minutes later, he told us that the plane was not taking the gas and seemed to be missing a part of the plane. Then he explained that they were trying to buy that specific part from American Airlines! Then about thirty minutes later, he said that everyone was going to have to get off the plane and they were going to bring another one in. After a big line to get

on the next plane, we realized that we were getting onto the same exact plane! The pilot came back on the speaker and said that they had to check a couple more things before we left, and then we were clear for "immediate departure." We pulled out onto the runway, sat for forty five minutes, and he said we could not fly the plane. It was the evening by now and when we eventually got on the other plane, more than half the people from a sold-out flight were gone. This one got us to Salt Lake at night and Seth Lansky came to pick us up with his son Aaron. Park City held a lot of things that I had never done before, and already the next day we had gone to the small lake that is by their house. That is another thing. Their house is like a mansion with three floors and the backyard over looking the rolling green hills of Park City. They call it the Lansky Hotel. It even has a movie room! Where was I? Oh right. The day after we got there, the mom named Jen signed us up for a paddleboarding lesson that was

very fun. Monday was the first day of camp for Collin with his helper Isabelle and meanwhile my mom, Jen, and I got to try going on a trail ride on horses. Unfortunately, it was raining and there was lightning, which resulted in us turning around and having brunch at a breakfast place and grocery shopping. We stayed at the house after until we went and picked up Aaron and Collin. The next day, Collin went to camp with Aaron and we went to the Utah Olympic Center which held events such as the Alpine slides and extreme tubing. (Dropping down a ginormous astro turf hill while

only on a tube.) This continued on for the rest of the week, and Collin was having a blast at camp. He said it was the best week that he had had this Summer so far. While he was at camp, I was able to go to the Park City Mountain Resort, a place in Promontory called the shed (like a Dave and Busters times one hundred and way more mature), try horseback riding (again), and a paddleboarding fit class (where mom fell into the water). On the last day of camp for Collin, which was Friday, we took him to the Mountain Resort to go on the coaster one time before we went back to the house. We got up early Saturday morning to leave for the airport, and this time we were able to fly out on the first try! Our dad picked us up from the airport and that was the end of Park City. To end the week, Sunday was Fathers Day and we celebrated with some burgers on the grill. We had such a fun time at Park City and if we are lucky, we were told that we may even be able to go back out there, hopefully with dad! Thanks for reading and tune in next week on TBB!
