Utah 2010

When not attending wedding events, we filled our time with lots of other fun activities. One of the highlights was taking Jack tubing in Park City. He was mesmerized by all the snow and talked about sledding even before we got on the plane to leave. We promised him all weekend and finally went Monday afternoon.

Ready to go!

So excited to go again and again

Coming down- Jack is in a tube in front of Clay

I stayed in the warming hut with Madeline most of the time but got to take a few rides with Jack too! It was awesome!

On Sunday we went out to Kristy's parents house in Midway for a luncheon. Again, Jack was so excited to play in the snow. It was about 2 feet deep and Kristy's sister-in-law had brought over snow clothes for the visiting kids- so nice! Jack had a blast!

At one point he said he lost his boot so I traisped through the snow to help him only to find that his boot was on his foot! I was wet and he was fine!

We spent Friday night at the home of Rick and Jodi Neilsen. The Councills and the Neilsens grew up together in Virginia. Jack and Madeline loved exploring their beautiful log home!

The Neilsens, Littles and us- all Virginia/North Carolina friends

When we got into town Thursday night, we headed straight for Russ and Chelsea Murphy's. Russ and Clay were roommates in Atlanta. We loved seeing them and the kids had fun together. Clay and Russ went skiing on Friday while the girls and kiddos did some shopping at Ikea. Of course, we didn't think to get a picture until the end and it didn't go well. Cade was not having it! This is the best one!

Overall the trip was great! The kids woke up between 4:30am and 5am every morning so Clay and I were working on 4-5 hours sleep a night so that was exhausting. But Madeline was a champ and Jack has such a great sense of adventure. He loves meeting new people and thinks everyone is his instant friend. On our way home, he got on the plane and introduced himself to the pilot. He then said "get us home fast!" As we made our approach into Raleigh, the captain did his usual descent message and then said "I hope that was fast enough for you, Jack!"
