First Famliy Vacation ...
Well it is true, we are going on our first full-fledged family vacation since we had Grace. Sure, we do travel; however, we are always able to convince someone to watch one or more of our kiddos. But this weekend we are heading to Pawleys Island, SC will all the kids and Jamey's cousin's family. I can't wait. I just hope we all fit in our minivan. We will see... We rented a house on the beach just down from the house we stayed in four years ago. I can't wait.

Imagination Station
Sunday I took the kids to Imagination Station in Toledo. It was similar to 
COSI, with many of the old attractions. It had a few new ones that were were a lot of fun for the kids and I. The Cartoon Network section was one of our favorites. It allowed you to create videos, animations, etc... They also had a 180 degree camera that allowed you to try to recreate Matrix lik
e action poses. There is a new energy exhibit, sponsored by First Solar and BP Energy, scheduled to open this spring. I wish we would have waited for that. All in all a fun afternoon that was cheaper and more educational than a movie.

Alpine Mountain
The Friday before President's weekend Jamey and I took Hannah and her friend Fiona skiing for the day. We had decent conditions and the slopes were empty. We planned on a short trip with the kids before the end of the season. At the last minute Caleb and Emma decided not to go come along. It was her first time skiing but, you wouldn't
know it after watching her on the slopes. She amazed us as the day went on and I think we have found a skiing buddy for Hannah.

Crytal Mountain with Family
This past weekend w
e took our annual ski trip with my family and the kids. This year Caleb joined us after a Hyades due to lack of interest. We splurged on Saturday and signed him up for a full day lesson. It was a great investment. He became a lot more confident and learned from an adult that didn't want to spank him after listening to him whining. In fact, after I picked him up he went flying down the slope, out of control, and I rushed to "save" him. By the time I caught him, he was back in control and ready to stop to get on the lift again. He did have one minor run in with a tree and a barrier but, nothing too serious. I on the other hand went through the barrier with him on Saturday night and ended up straining my knee. We both landed just below the dinning room window at the condo we were staying at. I was able to get the others attention by throwing snowballs at the window as they were sitting down to eat. The girls both enjoyed the freedom we gave them on the slopes. It is amazing how giving them a little 2-way radio makes us feel that 
they are safe. We really enjoy skiing together and are all blessed that my family got us into a sport we can all enjoy together. I also found another use for the GPS Jamey bought me for my birthday last year. I was able to track the entire weekend on the slopes. I was also able to track my speed down the slopes. That may we dangerous for me. My top speed just 47.7 mph just short of my goal. Better luck next time. By the way, this proves that I am a geek!

Happy New Year! Welcome 2010
This year we stayed in and had a quite evening. That was until Emma tried to make it a party.Hannah spent the evening with a friend's family. This is the 3rd year she skipped out on us. Emma had a fiend over and the rest of us just hung out. Most of the house hold has been fighting the flu so it was pretty low key. We would like to wish all of you a wonderfully blessed twenty-ten.
