Christmas Break Forced Family Fun

The last Saturday in December we began working on what I hope will become a weekly habit: spending time working as a family (which will usually be cleaning the house, but as it gets warmer we'll probably do more yardwork too) and playing as a family.  We did a little work that morning, then left for a fun outing to the Clark Planetarium in Salt Lake, then came home and finished our work.

The planetarium was really cool.  The main purpose of the trip was to use passes we had to see an IMAX show and a Dome show.  The 3D IMAX show was about life on the international space station, and the dome show was about asteroids.  We left between the shows and walked to a lunch place in the Gateway, which was cold but fun.  The kids had a lot of fun with all of the interactive exhibits at the planetarium and were mad when we had to leave before they had their fill.  We'll have to go back when we can just play some more.







  




We took advantage of our last day of the holiday season (New Year's Day) by going to the Provo Rec Center to swim at the cool indoor pool there.  I tend to freeze in indoor pools and managed to operate as a supervisor and photographer during the adventure, though I was in a suit just in case I needed to go in.  The kids had a great time, and enjoyed it even more when some friends of ours arrived and they had more kids to play with.
