President's Day

Well, the deal was that Steph was going to do the blogging this trip, but she's had a really busy two weeks so I'm going to help her out by posting some pics. I'll start at the airport, where Marc tried on a different kind of helmet than the one he's used to:

In Salt Lake, the SUV we had ordered wasn't ready so they gave us a Hummer again--Steph's least favorite. I pretended to be upset too:

The snow level was the highest we've ever seen it at the house:

We took Marc to the candy apple place in Park City:

Our friends the Roses were kind enough to join us at the Wolf Creek house for the weekend. We had so much fun with them, although we were all sorry that Dan & Mary Kaye had to bail (having your 4th and 5th on the way really complicates life). The Rose kids taught Marc & Julie some racquetball at the house:

Taylor discovered the icicles:

Then we had some pizza at the barn:

And Cathy spent some time with us and Marc:

We took the four-wheelers out a lot:

We also went skiing. And then, of course, snowmobiling. Gary took Marc (the Rose one) and me on an amazing ride through some beautiful country. I don't know how far we went, but we were going 30-40 m.p.h. and we were gone over an hour and a half. Gary only has two rules: don't crash, and keep up (in that order, I think, but I'm not sure):

Here's a video of what it looks like trying to follow Gary on a snowmobile with one hand holding a camera with no glove on in the freezing cold, trying to keep one eye on the trail:

Marc spent some time with his cousin Q:

And Spence had some fun with Lincoln in the barn:

Steph had Marc well-prepared for the cold:

And he did his first snow-angel:

When we got home we learned how to throw a football (well, mostly he learned how to suck on a football):

Then we went to Oklahoma for cousin Alli's baptism, and the boys hit some golf balls in freezing wind:

And Marc got his first piano lesson from Steph's uncle Reid:

And then he had a playdate with his little friend who was born on the same day (except she can crawl so he was a little jealous):

Then Steph threw a shower and I got to eat all the leftover food (Kathleen--the fruit looked and tasted great)

And that's pretty much what we've been up to.
