Denver

We woke up REALLY early on Saturday (the 29th) and left for Denver at 5:05 a.m.  The kids were very anxious to get there and we didn't want to be driving at night.  We made good time until we met up with traffic around Vail (I think).  There had been an accident, or so they said, and it took a while to get past the area.

We finally made it and were happy to be at Grandma and Grandpa Pack's house!  Courtney was excited to sing karaoke with Grandma and then we discovered the best thing ever...Just Dance!  It is the most fun game.  You follow the dance moves of the game and get points.  We all got hooked (except for Bryan, who played it once to say he had but wasn't too impressed) and played for a long time.

 Monday was New Years Eve and we went to the mall to walk around.  Courtney got to jump on a bungee ride (which made her a bit motion sick) and she also went on the carousel with Grandma.  Ethan got another Lego.  And Grandpa, Ethan, Courtney and I rode on a motion ride.

Here is the video of Courtney bouncing:

 We celebrated New Years that night using the East coast time...2 hours early...and with everyone on Google chat.  Everyone logged onto their computers and watched as we celebrated with Jeff and Lisa on the East coast, Julie on the West coast, Andrew in Provo and the rest of us in Denver.  We thought this would be good enough for the kids but it wasn't.  They stayed up until midnight Denver time to celebrate.
