Spring Break

I know Spring Break isn't over yet, but we have been very busy and I wanted to update. We just got back today from going to Colorado to my parents cabin. We got there Sunday night. Monday, James and I took the kids to Wolf Creek Ski Resort where the kids were able to ski for the first time ever (not Elijah, he had already been a few weeks ago with the Scouts from our ward). It took a few runs down the bunny hill, but Olivia has got some talent. James took her and Elijah on some of the intermediate slopes and she is a natural. Go Girl!!! Ethan, on the other hand, didn't take to it quite as easy, but with practice, he will be great. While James and I worked with Olivia and Ethan, Elijah was off all over the mountain. He loves to ski!!!
On Tuesday, James went back to Farmington to work. My parents and I took the kids to the Sand Dunes Hot Springs in Hooper Colorado. It is a pool that is filled with the water from a hot springs. The temperature is around 100 degrees, and the jacuzzi is about 107 degrees. It is the cleanest pool we have ever been to. We found out that they drain the entire pool every week and power wash all the surfaces and refill it. There isn't any nasty hot springs smell. It really is great and it seems to really help my Dad with the pain he has in his legs. It was pretty cool to be swimming with snow all around. We will definitely go back!

On Wednesday, Olivia had a fever so we stayed in the cabin all day watching old westerns, reading books, and feeding the deer. We had a wonderful time, thanks Grandma and Grandpa, we can't wait to do it again!

Your Spring break was awesome - from skiing to seeing all of those deers - that is amazing! It was so fun to hear James voice on the little video clip! See you next month!
