New Year's Utah Trip

A few days after Christmas we loaded up and headed to Utah for a week. Here are some pics of our trip:

The kids' New Year's party
A little bowling... The kids loved it! Ethan's turn.
Kate's turn.
Jack doing it his "self".
"Me did it!"
We met Uncle Bruce at a reservoir to watch him ice fish. It was freezing and windy!
Norm, Ethan, Jack, Dave (drilling), Bruce
Kate and EthanJack was freezing! He lasted about 10 minutes on the ice and then he and I spent the rest of the time waiting in the van. He doesn't handle the cold very well.
Dave pulled the kids around on the tube a little bit. Jack helped too.
It was a nice trip. Good to see family. It's nice to be home and get back into a routine. Kate started school today. I started teaching piano lessons today. I think it's going to take a little while for the kids to get used to me teaching. Hopefully they'll adjust soon.



Oh, I wanted to write down Jack's latest version of Jingle Bells:

"Tinkerbell. Tinkerbell. Tinker all the way. Oh, what fun. Ride horse. Hey!
Tinkerbell. Tinkerbell. Tinker all the way. Oh, what fun. Ride horse. Hey!"

Wow... I started getting cold just looking at those ice fishing pictures. Brrr! That's awesome that you took the kids bowling. We'll have to try that sometime.
