Pups & Park City

Remember that picture of the sunburn from last week and how I said I have more pictures? Well, here they are. The place we went to (Cowabunga Bay) is full of water slides and fun for kids. I’m not sure how much fun adults could have there, but we enjoyed people-watching :) Please note how good I am at the “attitude” shot. It comes naturally, what can I say? Then pay attention to the white strap “burn” lines and how I color-coordinated my shirt with my skin.

This weekend was a huge blessing to me. I’ve mentioned before an animal adoption center in Park City known as Furburbia. (If you don’t yet know about me being a total animal rescue advocate, go here and read all about it.) We saw on their Facebook fan page that they were in need of foster homes for the night. Once the center closes at night, they pack up all the dogs and take them to a ranch, however, they prefer to have the dogs go to a foster home for a “doggy sleepover.” We drove up there and came home with Bronson, a 6-year old yellow lab mix. He must be mixed with a mastiff or a chow or something because the size of his neck/head was HUGE. He was a sweet dog and started falling in love with our Stella girl :)

We took him back the next afternoon and the staff asked us if we’d be around to foster that night as well. We hadn’t been planning on it but later learned that due to unforeseen circumstances, they had more dogs at the center than they could fit in the van to take to the ranch :( So, we fostered a little guy named Kip, a terrier mix. He was one of the sweetest dogs I’ve ever met! Loved to cuddle and wanted to be wherever we were. He also LOVED tummy rubs!

Stella wasn’t sure what to think of the dogs. She wanted them to know this was her territory, but every so often she started to become pretty intrigued. Here she is visiting with Kip. So precious :)

Stella never liked the bed we got her, but Kip sure did!

Other than fostering dogs all weekend, we spent some more time in Park City. I love that town. Here’s a little of what we saw and what we did:

Jamaican Bobsled team?

Again with the attitude pictures. They’re like second nature to me, no? Also, sunburn = not as bad.

In this next picture, you can see what I was talking about this past Friday (read about it here) – having your nails all painted one color but having a different color on the ring finger. This is a more extreme example (the colors are entirely different.) I’m thinking the next manicure will involve light brown nails with copper glitter on the ring finger.

I mentioned this before (here), but last weekend when we were in Park City, I had been wanting to get a picture of the long jump from the 2002 Olympics but didn’t get it. I can gladly say that this weekend was the weekend. I got a picture! While it was still far away, I think it’s pretty awesome :)

Oh, and I picked up another MAC eye shadow called “Sketch” which is like a deep maroon-purple. Looks great in the crease! I made one more stop by Bath & Body Works’ amazing sale and got the last Lavender Chamomile candle they had for 50% off! Gotta love a good steal!

It was a rewarding and fun weekend, different from most. I’m grateful for the chance we had to foster those dogs and pray that they find forever homes and can curl up next to their family every night.

I hope you all had lovely weekends, as well! I always get excited for Mondays now because that means the blogging world is back in action after the weekend :)
