The Keene Family

I'm just going to go ahead and add the year to the title of this post because we are so sure that we are going back. :) Over the years, Jim and I have done a ski weekend away for President's Day. Two years ago we took the kids to Mission Ridge and started their first ever ski lessons. Last year we went to Mission Ridge with our dear friends Carl and Katie, and it was fun to have an adult weekend away. This year, thanks to airmiles, travel points, ski passes, and a friend from work, we went to Salt Lake City, Utah for the weekend - and spent less than we normally do going to Wenatchee! We flew down on Friday morning and picked up my work friend's car from the airport, and drove to Alta. We have Ikon passes through our Crystal season passes so we skied for free! We skied for about four hours and then headed down Little Cottonwood Canyon to the Porcupine Grill for dinner. Yummmm. We arrived at my work friend's house in South Ogden in a snow...

Jim bought us tickets to see Greta Van Fleet months ago, and we tried to go in November. But then one musician was sick that night and they postponed the show until January. So, even though it was a weeknight and Jim was on very little sleep from a very busy week at work, we went! It was a great show and it was a nice evening out together in the city.

Jim planned an awesome date for us that included a hike to Lena Lake. We love spending time outdoors, and it was a perfect afternoon. The rain held off for us too! On the way home, we stopped at Seabeck pizza for dinner... And then grabbed Blizzards too. After all, we hiked six miles! ;)
