One fun outing of this past break was going to the Denver Museum of Natural History and seeing a special traveling exhibit of the Titanic. It all started at Thanksgiving when we got hooked by CJ's book on the Titanic. Then we got several videos about the Titanic so we just HAD to go see it. It was very cool, but they wouldn't let us take any pics in the exhibit so you'll just have to take our word for it. It's amazing the stuff that survived not only the sinking but being under 2 1/2 miles of salt water for over 80 years. There was paper money, letters, wrappers, clothes, dishes, etc, etc. Truly AMAZING!!!
She said, "Sir, that was 1912!" So he said, "you must have been pretty young." It's always a little dangerous but fun to take Bill out in public!!!
Our other outing was to Monarch to go skiing. It was the first time for Charina, Krista and Summer. After a few rough spots in the beginning cause their Mom took them too high too fast, everyone became a pro.
It was a gorgeous day and you could hear the words "this is the dumbest activity ever" ringing through the trees. But that only lasted for the first part of the day. By the end of the day Krista could have signed up for a ski racing team (just don't ask her to stop, it's not in her skill package) Summer was smooth as silk and Charina only hit one tree!
We completed our day with some really delicious Mexican food. These characters in really dorky hats joined us.

I love that picture on the ski lift! Even more I love imagining dad make the whole plan about how the 4 girls would get on one chari, and then dad would get on the one behind them, and then when they passed over point 'x' they would all 4 turn around and look so Dad could get this picture. And just so you know, there are 2 living survivors left today. Apparently not your tour guide! But both survivors were only infants that night.
