Boys Getaway

Me, my dad and Cory made a "boys getaway" to Mesquite to do a couple days of golf. It was certainly fun enough to make this an annual thing. Next year hopefully Quinn can make it with us.

Stair Time

Here is the first go for Vanessa climbing the stairs - we made it all the way up by herself, now she thinks she's pretty hot stuff.

Last measurement of the year

Here is a pic of the last snow measurement of the year up Home Canyon. There was on average 5 and a half feet of snow still up there. Afterward we went riding the rest of the day on the most beautiful ride of the year as well. Six new inches, not one person up there and not a cloud in the skies. The only tracks we can across were our own. How can anything be better!?!

Late Easter pics

We weren't very good at getting the Easter pics of the kids on so here they are. It was a good day, Cory/Carolyn and kids came up and we had a nice dinner together and then afterwards we had a little Easter egg hunt. It was fun.

Playing in the snow again.....

This past weekend we were able to get up in the mountains and burn up some of that new powder that had fallen during the week. There weren't many people up there which was surprising so that left plenty for us. Gina's brother Rod came down from Northern Idaho and he was taught the way of the land. This was the first time that he had ever come down to ride. He was impressed. We put a good 50 miles on and covered a lot of terrain ranging from the warming hut all the way over to Bloomington Lake and over to Red Pine. Here are a few pics of Rod and the rest of us parked on top of the lake (6 to 7 feet of ice underneath us). The rope in the background is the one that we swing off of into the lake during the summer.

Evening at the park

It was a little brisky this evening as we went to the park a half block a way. The kids have been itching to get out and hit the park when dad has been home, you can see that Madelyn hasn't waited for the warmer weather with her skirt and flip flops already. Sir's (Kevin Anderson) house borders this park and he was out for a minute. The big whimp didn't stay out to long because he said it was to cold. He leaves Bear Lake and he is already a pansy!
