The Christmas break partying continues...

My kids were not going to let a week off of school go to waste.  We partied and partied and partied.
1. It snowed for about 3 minutes one day and about 5 minutes the next.  It looks like rain...I know.

It  whet their whistles and they wanted to go to Pine Valley and play in the snow with the cousins, but 2.  We went swimming at Washington Rec. Center (Kyle hates playing in the snow).

They love posing for underwater pictures!

George was there too but I gave him the underwater camera, so he took the pictures and he recorded himself going down the hydrotube.

3.  We went to Anti-gravity.  We took Drew and left Matty.  Evan is probably the one we should have left home. First he lost his sock, under the trampoline floor, somehow; then he lost his tooth!

It was buy an hour, get an hour free, and they were exhausted by the end. (at least Em was)

4.  New Year's Eve parties.  We always stop by the rockin' party at TempleView RV.  They dance and play bingo and we ALWAYS win Dixie Direct books. The best part is that they count down the New Year at 9 pm, so there is still time to have our own party.  No, I did not have two dates.  Penny was there too but she wasn't covered with streamers.  Ira took a bunch of pics of us dancing, but I don't have access to them.  Maybe we are on TempleView's web page. :)

Mason volunteered to have the family party at his house this year since he got a ping pong table for Christmas.  I am glad he and Mandy consider Beckstrands part of the Wells family!

We had lots of great food, and I made mini pudding pies so the kids could have a pie eating contest.

 Mason also announced we would be having a polar bear challenge.  

He would heat the hot tub but the only way in would be through the icy pool.

The kids loved it and some of them dunked themselves several times.  

The dads.....were not so brave as to dunk more than once,  and yet a little TOO brave. 

Spencer had it all planned out and had his speedo on under his clothes,

but Mason, not to be outdone.....well....wasn't.  His impromptu bravery had us crying tears of laughter.  He even decided to check the water temperature before he finally took the plunge.  

I'm glad Kyle was not as "brave".

5.  Fiesta Fun
Before Fiesta Fun we had our annual lunch at Golden Corral to celebrate Grandpa Sullivan's birthday.
Then, we cashed in all our free miniature golf gift certificates at Fiesta Fun and took all the cousins.  They golfed about 38 holes, because they ran through so fast we made them go back and do each hole again. 

Another beautiful winter afternoon in St. George.
