I think my favorite part of the day was:
We even took a drive up to Olympic park and got to watch the ski jumps.
My oldest insisted that he wants to be a ski jumper when he grows up.
Okay, there is always that time of the afternoon when your kids start giving you:
You know the look, time for a treat. I've been a good boy! (even thought we ate a massive lunch only about 2 hours previous.)
So, along the way we find a treat shop.
We go a little nuts and let them have pick of the store. Whatever treat they want, it's theirs.
Jeff tries 2 turtle carmels.

And a great Valentines celebration!

Happy Valentine's Day!
That looks like such fun! Im dying to go somewhere wintery. Just for a day. Happy Valentines Day!
I can't believe he at the WHOLE THING! lol. Park City looks beautiful. On a side note; Adam and the Ants?! Blast from the past! I went to his concert in Seattle in the 8th grade! I was soooo into him. lol.
