The family vacation

Every year the Burkes go on family vacation. Traditionally the third week in June and each year hosted by one of the kids. Last year Tania and I hosted with a family Trek Travel trip to Yellowstone. Of course, it rained every day except for the one day it snowed. Everyone had a blast. This year, my sister Sharon and her husband Jeff hosted the family in Park City, Utah. Events included a Steve Martin banjo concert (he really does play the banjo and unfortunately does not tell a lot of jokes) outdoors with rain and temperatures in the low 50’s, family bowling, golf, a bike ride, a trip to the ski hill for a family luge event, and yes, the Burke family games night where the Black team beat the White team. Events included horse, one hole of golf, the peanut toss, ping pong, and banana grams.

My favorite event this year was the luge ride down one of the ski hills in Park City. We traveled down in pairs with people racing each other to the end. I provided security for my 77 year-old mother as she mounted her sled and headed down the hill. I wanted to be behind her so that some 13 year-old kid did not slam into my Mom. We are around 1/4 of the way down the hill and I am thinking this is really funny...so...I got my iPhone out, hit the video button, and turned into an Olympic announcer as I called Lainey's wild ride down the hill in Park City. This is a must watch!
