Rolling with the Punches!

I'm finally getting a chance to sit down at the computer without someone on my lap. This past weekend we went to Utah. Dad had planned a snowmobile trip. So we went down Friday and on Saturday packed everyone up to go have some fun. We went to Woodland, which is by Kamas, Utah. It was an hour and half drive to get there. By the time we got there and kids dressed and ready to go it was almost lunch time. So we all hop on the the sleds, Reagan was snuggled next to me in the sling, and go a few miles in on the trail and get stopped by like 9 rangers. They checked the registrations on the snowmobiles and then checked everyones helmets. Now Jackson and Rees both had helmets on and I know it was pushing it taking Reagan, but I was going slow and staying on the trail--well there's a new rule in Utah where the helmets have to say D.O.T. on them---So even though almost all the kids had helmets on, they said we couldn't continue on. They looked at me like I was an abusive mother for even thinking about taking an infant on a snowmobile. Mind you my parents have probably taken every one of their 7 children on snowmobiles when they were babies- but I guess its the other snowmobilers that we should worry about running into. Anyway so our big planned day that dad had spent lots of money getting sleds ready and even borrowing one didn't exactly go down--so we turned around and went to another hill where we had a picknick and tried to sled on a tube. Both tubes popped by the second run. So by this time we decided to go to the Aquatic Center in Kamas--which we had planned on. Well upon entering the parking lot and parking, Dad accidentally got a little too close to a car when he turned and the trailer hit a parked car taking out the mirror and front fender. At this point my Dad is completely disgusted---my mom just looks at the people in the car and says "no body drowned!!" We all had a good laugh about the day later on and the Aquatic center was a blast. Anyway, life is about rolling with the punches.
Jackson is at preschool right now and loves it! Rees is so disappointed that she can't go yet, but luckily she is content right now watching Clifford. Have a great day!!
