I can't believe I took my camera to Burley and didn't get it out once.
I even forgot to take it when we went skiing!
We got up there New Years Eve night and had a nice time staying up with Stephanie's family and Grandpa and Grandma until midnight. Then New Years Day we just layed around and had a nice relaxing day.
Friday we went skiing and had a lot of fun. We took everyone but Luke, he got to stay with Grandpa and Grandma. It was Sam and Madisyn's first time and we purposely chose Pomerell for their first time. We had heard about the Magic Carpet ride Pomerell had on their bunny hill. It was awesome. It was basically a conveyor belt that you slid onto with skis and all and rode up to the top of the hill. Since I hadn't been on skis for about 12 years I didn't bother putting mine on for a while and just rode up and walked down the hill while helping teach the two younger kids. It was a long process but they finally caught on and were enjoying themselves.
Sadly, about the time they were ready to go down a real run it started lightening and sleeting and then snowing very hard. The weather got so bad that they closed down the lifts for a while. We went in the lodge, got some food and headed to the car to eat it since the lodge was so full. After a while we decided to go ahead and head back down the mountain. It was snowing so hard that we knew the roads would be getting really bad and we had already had a really great time. Now that we know the kids can do it and like it we will take them up to Tahoe a few times without feeling like we are wasting our money.
On Saturday we went into the Twin Falls Temple and did sealing's for Grandma's family. It was a really nice time. Then later that day we took the kids out bowling. We had a lot of fun there as well.
Then Sunday it was time to head home and get ready to get back to real life. We love being able to have family to visit for the holidays.
