First trip to Lagoon

August 22, 2009 -- In early August, Dan learned he had a week of vacation he needed to use before September first, or he'd lose it.

Fortunate for us, as well as the fact that someone who just won tickets to Lagoon through the station failed to pick them up. 

So we got the tickets, and took a quick trip to Utah before Millie enters the first grade on August 31st.

While there, we of course hit Lagoon, and then went back to Salt Lake a few days later to take the kids to Hogle Zoo.

It was a great weekend, and of the two sites (at least among the kids) Lagoon came out the clear winner.

First Christmas at home

December 25, 2007 -- After 14 years of marriage, we finally spent Christmas at our own home in Boise, and the kids loved it.  Fortunately we spent the week prior to the holiday in Brigham City, so Milly, Sam and Macie got to spend time with thier grandmas and grandpas, and of course their many cousins.

They forced us out of bed so they could open their presents, and seemed to get a huge kick out of having so much attention paid to them individually as they opened their presents.

Enjoy the video, it sums up the whole event.
