Island Park (March 1-4)

Such a slacker, I am only a little over a month behind :)! We really did have a great time snowmobiling at Island Park. We went with Jared's family. ReNae got a 2 bedroom cabin and we had 9 adults and 7 kids. We were COZY!!!! I have included some picts of the highlights...

I guess maybe Jared still drives like a "Texan"! We were pulling into the cabins and the van just kept going (or so Jared says!) We called and everyone came to push us out, the funniest thing was the cops showed up and asked "So what part of Texas are you from???" (We still haven't changed the plates) I can just say at least this time it wasn't ME!!!

We got there and Hayden and Connor wanted to go swimming NOW! No adults wanted to go, so we bought some time and told them we would only take them if they pulled their teeth out! (Yes this is the same tooth that Hayden didn't loose until 3 weeks later, and Connor still hasn't pulled his out!)

We Finally made it swimming. Hayden was a fish and remembered just what to do. Bryce AKA Sharkboy on the other hand was a bit nervous and stayed in the baby pool with his life jacket ON!!!




Day 2 we went for a "Family Ride". Everyone, babies included went down to the Fishing Bridge. It was nice and sunny, but still cold. It is so beautiful there!!!




Bryce had a great time. He was the only one without a helmet and his cheeks were FREEZING! But he didn't complain. He just liked going FAST!





"LET ME OUT!!!" Christopher just wanted to be outside. He and Nettie would stand at the door and eat up all the snow that fell off of peoples pants (and yes shoes) as they came in. Hey we didn't step in any yellow snow, so it was all good!



Once Chris did make it outside, he thought he was just as big as the BIG kids! We never let him drive the Kitty Cat, but doesn't he look like such a big boy!




Hayden on the other hand had a BLAST on the Kitty Cat! She almost got stuck a few times and barley missed hitting a tree. Maybe she drives like her Mom, or should I say Dad on this trip!




Jared, the true professional! It snowed about a foot of fresh powder overnight and on the 3rd day it was just beautiful. The sun was out and the guys had a great time! I did find out later that Jared almost rolled into the river, but he saved the sled. Good thing I wasn't there I would have gone right in!!!


(Jared, Bryce, and Hayden)The kids had a BLAST playing in the powder! We had a great time and hope to go again next year!!!
