Fun in Idaho

 We had the blessing of spending time with my brother, Georg, and his family at their home in Idaho.  It was such a wonderful time of eating together, playing in the snow, sledding, building record breaking snowmen, playing sardines in the dark, hikes, hot springs, and skiing.  We spent time reading the book of Daniel, listening to Michael Kelly Blanchard songs, and fixing yummy desserts.  All the cousins had playmates, and the Lord blessed us with beautiful weather, including a full day of snow!

Tante Jacqueline and Lily love the snow, as do Lily and Sophia.


 Look at all that snow...what are we going to do out there today?!

Hi up there!




 The hot springs had a leak in the dam, so we got to enjoy the piped water hot springs

 Cozy spots to stay warm











 We did it!  The biggest snowman ever (at least for that place, that day :)

 Yes, Maggie retained her championship status as the Ultimate Punch Challenge girl...still beating her own record 2 more times :)  Her highest score was 678!  She received a nice camo backpack.




Everyone helped each other ski.  Here are the guys that Trey followed around...although one time he came down and got on the ski lift all by himself, and no one noticed until Carl looked up and saw Trey all alone going back up the hill!








 Snuggle and silly time!
