First Ski Day of the Season

 I decided to take the kids skiing today. Kade and Luke especially have been begging to go and we all really needed a day out of the house. It was sad not to have Brad there with us because he had to work, but we made the most of it and had a lot of fun! We didn’t even ski on the bunny hill, we just stuck to the blue runs and Luke’s favorite black diamond, James Bond. I’m glad we were able to stay away from the blue runs because it was really crowded on that part of the hill. It was nice to avoid that.

It was also really windy and cold but the sun was shining. Everyone enjoyed and we stayed until the last chair ran. We can’t wait to go again soon!

The Terrain Park

We had a lot of fun skiing today even though when we got there we found out that it was military day. Which meant it was really crowded. Maybe the busiest we have ever seen it. But the lines were still really short for the chair lifts.

The kids took me to the terrain park so they could show me their jumps. They are all so brave!

The Church Gym

After school and piano lessons today I took the kids to the church gym to practice basketball. They all need practice dribbling so we ran some drills that I’ve seen their coaches do and then we played poison. The kids are all so competitive and hate to lose so a few of them left the gym in tears. But I think we all still had fun and we’ll probably go try it again tomorrow after school. 

Ryder has been wanting to bake something so he made pumpkin chocolate chip muffins to go with dinner tonight. I’m not so sure he measures the sugar correctly but they still turned out pretty good even if he didn’t even finish his! 😂 

Gravity Factory

Lesa and I got to go for a really fun bike ride this morning. We road out into the country and up and down rolling hills. It’s one of the best outdoor rides I’ve been on. It was a lot of fun. The kids played at home a lot today while we helped Hailey. My niece Haley and I got to go out for lunch and do a little bit of shopping as well which was also fun!

We got the kids out this evening and took them to the Gravity Factory in Rexburg. They loved it and played well together. After the jump place Max lost a tooth and shortly after Tenley pulled out a tooth as well! It was crazy. We picked up pizza and cookies for the kids for dinner. 

The kids are loving all this cousin time! It’s been a great week.

Rock Climbing

I have a niece whose an amazing rock climber so I decided to take my kids to our local climbing gym so they could try it out. It was nothing like the nice gyms they have in Utah but my kids still had a lot of fun. I think Ryder loved it the most. Even little Luke joined in on the fun and climbed all the way to the top! Next time I’m going to try it out with them all. It looked like so much fun.
