January has always been a hard month for me, so getting out has been the best thing to cope with it!
SNOWMOBILING
David has always wanted to go snowmobiling with me ever since we got married. It was always so expensive, but thanks to a good deal on KSL, we were able to go up for a day (and I was able to surprise him with it for a birthday gift!) We went to the Cabins at Bear River in Christmas Meadows, UT.
We rode up the Mirror Lake Highway in the Uintas. On our way up the road, we ran into a moose! It was so cool to see the moose, but after a while, he would just NOT move out of the way! He was blocking our path, so we had to keep turning around and coming back until he finally decided to move off the road somewhere.
It was an absolutely beautiful, clear day!
We made it to Mirror Lake and ate lunch there. The lake is actually behind David in the picture below.
There sure was a lot of snow, but amazingly and thankfully, the bathrooms were still open:)
It was a great day to just get out and enjoy!
SKIING
We all got free passes to go and ski at Deer Valley. It is such a nice place to ski and we got to go with family! It was so much fun to go as a big group. Our nephew who is only 6 years old even came with us and showed us how it was done:) I didn't get a picture of him though unfortunately.
I was walking down the stairs to the lodge when all of the sudden my boot just completely snapped off and broke! Thank goodness it was at the end of the day, but still pretty embarrassing, especially at Deer Valley. I guess that's what you get for buying $5.00 boots from the DI. H/H!
ICE SKATING
Our friends told us about Ice Skating at the Olympic Oval, so we thought we would give it a try for Family Night. They let you take your stroller out on the ice and had a walker for Adam. It was still pretty hard for Adam, but he sure loved it when Dad pushed him around the rink as fast as he could. It was a fun night out together.
So here's to January (and the beginning of February): You weren't able to get me down this year:)
HAPPY WINTER TO YOU ALL

What a fun time!!! I'm especially jealous about the skiing!
that looks so fun! i still need to go snowmobiling some day. i'm glad you've made the best of winter with snow activities. that would definitley make utah winter more bearable if you were into all that stuff. (meaning i wish I were into skiing cuz everyone seems to love it, but i'm too lazy and now i'm moving to Vegas so... that ship has sailed!)
Looks like a great January. We've been going to the beach and the zoo enjoying our January too.
I am so jealous of all the fun outdoor activities you do as a family. I love how having kids does not slow you two down!
