Quick trip to Idaho to see family and a skiing Trip. We go to Idaho to remind ourselves how cold it really is. We took off on Friday morning to go to Targhee and the roads were so bad we hit the smaller local resort Kelly Canyon instead. This resort is smaller than Sundance, and by no means will pamper you. It was the coldest day I have ever skied. There were times I told myself I was crazy, there were a few times N and I glanced at each other thinking, "what are we doing?"
We took our little family on an adventure and I hope my kids will remember it. We packed our lunch(thanks to Nate's wonderful cousins and Aunt) we trooped through the day. I remember looking at the temp and it said 3 degrees, plus wind chill. There were a few times I wanted to just leave, but Coby seemed to be having fun. They had a terrain park with a van to jump as well as a picnic table, I took a run with Coby and fell, and ended up digging for my ski for 20 minutes.
Cass was the bravest of all, she didn't complain once, and she only fell once. Her bright red cheeks told the story, but- the last 2 runs of the day she went by herself, N and I stood and just watched her go, it was awesome! It was so worth it and I forgot for a minute how cold I was.

brrr, I'm cold just reading it. That is the best family picture though. I love that you all enjoy doing that as a family. I loved your card too! You have the best pictures every year.
That sounds like alot of fun. I haven't ever gone skiing because I would rather go fall on my butt in the backyard for free than have to pay for it, but I am glad that other people are brave enough!
Fun--and good memories! You are brave, though ... I'm such a baby in the cold!
How fun and cold. Despite the cold you'll have a family trip that you'll always remember and cherise!
