Just thought I'd post some highlights from our visit at the end of June and early July, 2011.
Dad's slower than before, doesn't seem to have as much energy or interest in doing things or talking to people. But we did manage to do a few things such as:
*Wendover--he did great at first but once we switched machines, he got very confused and thought there was something wrong with the machine. Too bad technology has made it more confusing for him. He still liked the buffet a lot and picked out 3 plates of food.
*Sundance, Alpine Loop Drive and Cascade Springs--beautiful day; he had fun poking at stuff in the water as usual. I only ordered soup and a smoothie for him but he wanted to know where his sandwich was. He ate almost half of his sandwich.
*Red Butte Garden--he liked to stop and smell the roses. He has his preferences. he enjoyed feeding the ducks but not as much as before.
*Park City-ski jumping
He was happy to see Dr. Baker and his nurse, Misty. But getting his ears cleaned out was really painful. We're trying to get a replacement for his hearing aids--something bigger and easier to find. Hope he gets used to them.
Today he was fascinated by the yard sale going on at the end of his street. So he didn't want to go to breakfast with Ron (his nice neighbor across the street), but sat in full sun for probably 2-3 hours! He said he would go inside soon, but didn't and when i got home, he was really wiped out. Luckily he was in the shade by then, but it was really worrysome. Today is Obon which he didn't want to go to either. So we watched all the dances on you-tube from last year. I suppose that's good enough.
