Snow Days

We finally got some snow this month so we took advantage of some free days to play in the snow as a family.

Wild Rose Trails in North Salt Lake

 And since we were in Salt Lake...

Wheeler Creek. 

Snow shoeing and Derek testing out his fat bike for the first time.

Midway Ice Castles

Tuesday January 9
Derek and I went with the Nelson's to Midway Ice Castles.
We watched Frozen on the ride up.

It was raining but that's no big deal. 

The Nelson family.  TJ just wasn't having it and wouldn't smile for Derek.

Lots of slides!

Oh yes.. I paid the ridiculous amount for coco and "souvenir" mug.. only because it's a triangle. 

Then we watched Beauty and the Beast on the drive home. 

You'll see Thalia and Sabrina mostly in the video and photos because we were watching them while Tyler went on the bigger slide. 
Surprised that Derek actually made a family video within 5 years of the trip? Well because he was also making a camera lens review and using footage from this trip. 

I'm sure if we went during a more wet winter where Utah actually had snow.. this would be more impressive.  It was fun going with the kiddos but overall kinda a let down. I do however want to go swimming in the crater. 

Temple Square with Grandpa

My dad was taking the Clegg kids down to temple square the Wednesday before Thanksgiving.
I invited myself to tag along.
We took the Front Runner down.

It was Elise's first time riding the train.

Playing old maid with shark cards and go fish with Garfield cards.

The Church History Museum.

I really enjoy this painting. 

An original window from the Kirkland Temple. 

Lifting a 30 lb block.

The death masks. 

The pocket watch...

This is from the old DC tabernacle. 

I really like this Mexican Nativity. 

Kids play area... Ellie was getting grumpy. 

Smashed some pennies. 

To which Ellie had to pose with her Temple penny with the Temple. 

City Creek for lunch. 

Christmas music was playing so the girls were pretending their food was musical instruments. 

Top of the Church Office Building. 

Jordan wasn't doing so well with how high we were. 

Took a tour of the "Supernackle" including the roof. 

The best part was that I found the painting I've been wanting for the past few years tucked away in the corner hiding at the Church History Museum.  Granted the one I've been wanting is about $300 and much much larger, and this one was only $15 and 11x14. Now Derek and I need to find a Christ painting we both enjoy to have in our home.
