24 Hours With 5 Kids on a Snowy Day

Are you guys excited to go outside today and play? Yeah! Guess what? It's actually snowing right now. You wanna go look? Yeah! Are you guys excited to go? Yeah! Are we sure this is David's? Yeah, I think this is mine. You look like the marshmallow man. Those look like they fit better, David. That's your size. There we go. Their jackets have this cool thing that buttons inside the jackets, you know that? Michael, you look so cute! Do you like it? You look so cute in this little snow outfit. I'm so glad I got it for you. There we go, put your hand in. Push, push, push, push. Look at Michael! I know, pretty, huh? It's totally snowing, and this is where they have the Salt Lake Olympics. Right here, they did the bobsled run, and we are gonna sled here. I'm in the snow! Is it good? Yeah. Are you having fun? Yeah! Oh gosh, whoo-hoo! There's your snow angel. You gotta sit on it. There you go, or lay on it. What are you guys working on? A big volcano? You know what, it looks like a big volcano. Go, Zach! Whoa! Let me see your face, Zach. It seems like Zach always gets something on his face. It's okay, there goes Chris. Boom! Oh, he got it again! Let me see the face. There it is. Is it cold? Look at that, Alyssa! What a great job! Look at that cute snowman. This is my hair. It's really snowing out here, but it's fun. Look, it's one, two, three. There's three. Good job, Chris. We just finished sledding outside. Everybody was freezing, so we decided to go take a look around this cool museum that was nearby. These are some of the things that they showed in the opening ceremony of the Olympics. That is cool. Those are quite large. Well, they're puppets. Pretty cool. Here's the people in the Olympic opening ceremonies holding the horse, and there's the horse. These are the medals they win in the Olympics, you guys. Cool, huh? Here's a curling stone. Is it heavy or light? So heavy. Super heavy? They play this game, see right there? Called curling. And that thing that they push along the ice is really heavy. I can't believe they can hold this. I know. This is a board that shows a lot of the pins that were traded during the 2002 Olympics. Look, it's Santa. Oh, there's a Santa pin. I like that guitar one. If you take a close look at all the different pins, you'll see that they all have the Olympic sign on them. Avalanche. Starting back in the 1970s, they wore this kind of stuff. Oh, those are cool gloves. You can see how the outfits and what they wore in the snow changed. Oh, that's cute, isn't that? 1989, that is cool. What do you think? Is it a good sled? It's an older sled, for sure. Right there ahead of us is a pool, but it's empty. Yes, this is an Olympic training park here, guys. So all the people who wanted to be in the Olympics, they came here and trained. So that's a swimming pool, but it's empty. And then look at all this stuff. One, two, three. We're painting in the snow. Oh, you're making a smile. Look, Chris, do you like my heart? Oh, I love it. What did you make, Zach? You made me? I love it. It says family fun pack, yay. And there's the YouTube play button. We got some artists here. Look at all that, a bunch of polka dots. I like it, buddy. Does that look cute? It does look cute. Here's those two, Michael. Lots and lots of artwork. Did you have fun? Good. We're gonna check on Chris down here. Oh, look at you, Chris. Chris is doing two colors at once. Look at that masterpiece. Look, so that's a heart. This, look around, it's a rain. Oh, wow. You know what it looks like to me? It looks like a really delicious snow cone right there. Doesn't it? Yeah. Too bad we can't eat it. I found a huge icicle. That's pretty big. Hold on. We're riding the gondola. It's scary on the little bumps. That's the scary part. I think it's pretty fun. It's really, really pretty. The sun's starting to come out. Macy and we'll go and have dinner and hot chocolate. What? My favorite part is the bumps, it's kind of fun. You like the scary part? Yeah, it's kind of fun. Woo! Was that a fun ride? Yeah. Yeah, you liked it? Yeah. Good. Found a little place to keep warm. So you guys know I love matching, and I realized today that I matched my jacket and my shoes not even on purpose. So here's my jacket. It's got maroon on it. And my shoes, also. Totally impressive, right? There's a sledding area over there. Oh, got taken out. Are you okay? Yeah. I'm dead. Okay, okay. That was a good job, David. Save right there. Oh my gosh, I'm about to drop. Oh, one day ago, I saw a little bird, and he made me go on a crazy ride. I didn't want to do it. And one day, he was super weird. I don't know who he is. Good job, Chris. That was pretty good. Good job, Alyssa. I think David broke it. David went down so fast. Snapped this thing right in half. Wow. I had a good life. They're coming from so far away. Look at that. They're getting some speed. Oh, another close call. In the center of our board. There they go. Ready, guys? Let's go back on the gondola. It looks pretty, doesn't it? Are we up high, Michael? Are you having fun, or are you scared? Yeah, let's sit down. I'm a little bit scared. Is it warmer down here? I think it's safer down there. Is this better for baby Michael? Is that better down there, Michael? Yeah, it's a little safe. We're not quite so up high. Are you having fun, Chris? Yeah. Look at the Christmas trees. We're almost there. And we found them. Michael is just too cold. He is not enjoying the snow at all. Love. Are you too cold? Yeah. I know. We're gonna go get warm, okay? There's Michael's cute little shoe. And he is totally zonked out. There we go. Did you guys have fun, though? Yeah. Yeah? Okay, let's get your hat. There we go. Let me see your ice ball. Huge. It's really cold. Is it good? Yeah. Is it hot, dad? Mm-hmm. Uh-oh, uh-oh. Let's grab a towel. Uh-oh. You did spill your hot chocolate. It's okay. No, it's not. We're gonna clean it. It's yummy. This is potato soup. Thank you. You're welcome. Thank you. Did you guys have a fun day today? Yeah. Should we go out again tomorrow and play in the snow? Yeah, I'll be fun. Yeah? Okay, I think we will. It's too beautiful not to do it again.
