Giving up.

So... Ammon has had a plan for quite awhile to make sure everyone he knows will be taken care of in their old age. He is planning on having a lot of kids when he gets married so they will be able to do all the work of taking care of all these old people (me, george, and both sets of grandparents) Well, he called off the whole plan tonight. Let's just say that Ammon is quite stubborn. Tonight he needed a lesson in respect after slamming the door on my face after I asked him to do something. As I told him that this wasn't ok and he now had to go to bed, he let me know that the whole plan was OFF! "I'm not going to have kids and no one is going to take care of you and that is what I am going to tell Heavenly Father!"
Good night little man. Hope that tomorrow things are a little brighter.....

Midway!

We spent the day in Midway today. I had seen an article on KSL about this guy that was building ice "castles" at the Zermatt resort about a month ago and we decided it was about time to go and check it out. First we went to the homestead and we were going to climb up to the top of what we used to call the bottomless pit, but the stairs were blocked off because of all the snow. We were able to walk around to the back, which they have now dug a passageway so people can swim and scuba dive in the water. It was cool to be able to go into the "cave" and see the people swimming. The price was a little rich for our blood. ($16/per person) Next we went to the Zermatt resort to check out the ice sculptures. They were so cool!! This picture was of the biggest one, which we figured is about 40 feet. The kids loved walking through it and then penguin sliding down the hill.

Ammon called this one his pirate ship.

The boys going through the tunnel.

Trae found a little bench to take a break.

The day ended with a trip to Granny's for a milkshake. The boys totally enjoyed their huge Oreo shake. I was disappointed to find out that the ownership had changed and they no longer had my favorite shake, Chocolate Lovers.

We had a great day!
