We had a lot of fun outside while we were on our visit to Utah this winter. The valley didn't get too much snow, but the day that it did snow, the twins went outside and took full advantage.

Our big outdoor adventure was taking the girls skiing at Sundance on Wednesday, December 18 - the day after our Utah Jazz adventure. It was the second part of Christmas adventures for the girls. Yulia found good deals on the tickets and equipment. We thought a lot about my Dad since it was his favorite place to ski. Our girls never got the chance to ski with him, which is one of our regrets.
I don't ski - I missed it as a teenager and just don't have a love of fast things (unlike my speed demon wife). The girls all got their gear and we got them on the slopes and I spent a lovely day reading and typing at the lodge.
The girls took to skiing like ducks to water. They had been night skiing two years earlier when we visited and they picked right up. They spent two hours skiing, took a short break to eat lunch, and then skied until 3:30 when it was time to come off the slopes and turn in the gear. It was a really perfect day - not too cold, a small cloud cover so it wasn't too bright, and snow that was wet, cold, and groomed.

We really had a nice time. We didn't give a lot of presents for Christmas, but we had some wonderful experiences and adventures.
