Holiday Accidents & Amazing Sights!

So, I believe one of my lasts posts were us playing "Laser Tag" as a family! Well, we had our first big accident ever with a Santa gift! Cambria got blasted by mom (on accident) while attacking dad with a Laser Gun! This was our first Christmas emergency and she sure was tough about it. She had to go to our Pediatrician to get stitches; 4 to be exact! She never cried and said it didn't hurt. (thank goodness for topical numbing gel) She's getting better and still says I'm one of her favorites!!  Whew..
Uncle Kyle & Aunt Sarah stop by for a quick visit before flying back to California. Uncle Kyle just got accepted into the California Highway Patrol Academy...WAY TO GO!  GOOD LUCK & BE SAFE! And thanks for coming by to see us! We didn't want you to go - so, maybe next time you can stay at our house!  Cambria wants to have a sleep-over with you!
Yesterday, we went to the Homestead in Midway, Ut and swam and snorkeled in a crater. It was fun and a great experience. We found this on the Homestead grounds. It was awesomely big and completely iced! The cool part was listening to the running water as it melted.
Colten says the cool part for him was "throwing snowballs in it and sliding down the hill on his feet."
It was quite amazing and big! Beautiful too and awesome in nature!
Here's Brett and the kids gearing up to snorkel and swim in the crater. Lucky for us, the water was so so warm! The big rock behind Brett is the inside of the crater.  All the kids learned how to use a snorkel mask so we are definitely ready for a trip to Hawaii!!
