Christmas Break Part #2/January

Ski Utah offers all 5th graders in the state of Utah three free passes to all the ski resorts.  This pass works well for a family with triplets!


Over Christmas break, we headed up to Ogden to ski at the Snowbasin Ski Resort.  Since the drive to Ogden is over an hour away, we decided to spend the night at a hotel and make a weekend of the trip.


We ate dinner at our favorite Ogden restaurant, Slack Water grill....yum!


We went swimming.  After showers, I did "ski hair" on all the girls.  It takes forever!


This resort is a hidden gem!  They had wonderful snow and it was huge!  We really liked the gondolas - it kept the wind off everyone and we all stayed warm.

Besides a pair of snow boots being left at the hotel, we had a wonderful weekend!


We also had the 5th grade science fair.  Oh my!!  

Abby's science project was to see what marker brand, Crayola or Crazy Art lasted longer.  Lots of coloring!


Annie put marshmallows in several different liquids (juice, milk, water, gatorade, and soda) to see if they would float.


Carter filled two boxes - one with Jello and one with cotton balls.  He put an egg in each box and then dropped them from our deck.  Both the Jello and cotton balls protected the egg.

I'm very proud to announce that we DID NOT make it to the next level!  Whew!

Carter played rec center basketball again this year.  Tim was the coach.  We had a great team and were undefeated until the last game.  It is fun to see the boys progress!

I headed to St George with my running buddies for our annual St George Half Marathon.  This was our 4th year.

We used our awesome Ski Utah pass again and hit up some of the fancy resorts in Park City.  It is such a big resort that we never ski the same runs twice.  It was super fun!
