Christmas Break Fun

We had a great 3 week trip to Utah, packed with fun.

This little one could live in the snow if I let her...

We went up to the family Cabin in Morgan, UT and played with cousins till we dropped!

Dylan and Carter could not get enough of getting pulled on a sled by the snow mobile...
I think Dad had just as much driving...

Corbin was a permanent fixture on the snowmobile, he literally did not want to get off. He would rather ride around than sled or go inside to warm up!!! Do you think he has the Thompson gene? And it just never gets old how cute they look all bundled up when they are so little...
And I had to get some speed out of my system too...

We ventured up to Downata Hot Spring in Idaho. It was an interesting sensation to be in a warm pool and have your hair freeze! Corbin loved it...
Ashlyn for some reason loved getting in and out and in and out, I don't know how that could have been fun...
Dylan could live in the pool especially if Carter were there (btw he can swim, but it must be fun not to have to work) ...
Dylan loved tubing! He never got tired of it...
Maybe because he loved to do this on purpose... (crashing into Carter and biffing) The only other thing we found that Corbin liked to do in the snow was swing...
He ended up falling asleep there.

When the snow finally got more sticky, Dylan realized there was an endless amount of ammo to throw at everyone who moved. He loved using the tree house has his snow fortress to bomb us. All of those who have come in contact with Dylan's arm will understand how much "fun" this snow ball fight was...
Ashlyn loved the swing too...

And we couldn't leave without making a giant snowman with Alex, Ann and Todd...

While Connor went to "work" we ventured out to Boondocks to play on the Kiddy Cove! I only got one bad picture, but I think all of us enjoyed it...
We went with Jenny and Laurel the the Children's Museum. Ashlyn loved helping all the other children checkout at the super market...
Dylan and Andrew played in the water until we had to pull them away...
The helicopter was a HUGE hit! Even though it was quit cold, they didn't seam to mind...
We also visited a few friends, sang at Nini and Poger's (Connor's parents) mission farewell (leaving to Barcelona, Spain mission), went to a cousin's guitar concert, enjoyed an amazing Christmas Eve nativity, went bowling with my little brother for his birthday, treasured every moment with cousins, enjoyed many a night of interrupted sleep attached to late nights and early morning (time change and too much fun with cousins), and two ear infections and a few colds later we are finally home! We now appreciate our warmer weather and moister climate more!
Thank you all who put up with us and made us so comfortable! We had such a wonderful time!

Wow--looks like an awesome time. I agree about kids in snow gear...snow bunnies are pretty darn cute.
