Perfect Weekend

This weekend was a really fun family filled weekend.  We were able to just hang out together doing fun things.  

Saturday morning we went to Home Depot.  The kids LOVE going there and really look forward to it. I'm not sure why they made bird houses in January but they are cute and they had fun.  I think we'll make some bird feeders some time and then put them all out.  





Saturday afternoon we headed up to Alta to ski.  It was beautiful, 34 degrees and sunny! So much better than the 14 degrees and smoggy down in the valley.  The kids did great.  Colin and I skied two runs together without Paul.  This is a big deal, it's the first time he has been comfortable enough to ski with just me.   



Driving back down into the valley....YUCK!

Colin was talking on Saturday night that he wanted to go hiking.  "I love hiking and we NEVER go" he said.  So, we decided to go hiking on Sunday.  We needed another excuse to get up and out of the smog again.  We decided to head up to Park City so we could take the dogs.   As we were driving up we kept an eye on the temperature.  It started at 14 when we left the valley.  At Parleys Summit, it was up to 32. As we headed down into Park City it was back to 19. So....we headed back up to the summit to find a hike to do.  We'd never hiked in that area before but it was perfect for what we were looking for.  I took a ton of pictures and loved so many that I am ending up with a huge post.  


I actually made it into a couple of pictures today

 Love this!

The dogs had so much fun. I don't think they're going to be able to move for a few days


The kids slid most of the way back down on their bottoms

 Having SOOO much fun!
