McCall

We had a wonderful time in McCall.
The snow covered mountains, the sunshine, and the crisp air was so refreshing.
It was quick trip but we still managed to pack in a lot of fun and some new memories.
Besides forgetting a few things like a brush and long johns for me and gloves for Heath, my old camera not keeping a charge, a little whining from the boys when we first started walking through town and them managing to jump in every puddle there was, the trip was a success.
What we want to remember:
Being together as a family
The kids loving every thing there is about a hotel room. Ryan loved the light switches, Luke loved the rolling desk chair which he insisted would be his bed for the night-it didn't happen, Cody loved the TV guide to read what was on all the channels and they all loved the key card to open and close the door
Sledding, playing and climbing around in the snow
Looking at the snow sculptures
Walking around on the frozen lake
Laughing
Going out to dinner at Si Buenos, the kids invented a new favorite, french fries dipped in salsa. Heath reminded me something I had forgotten all about, we had eaten here on one of his first visits to Idaho. We drove up in my grandparents car with my parents and brother to show Heath a little of Idaho, ate some dinner and drove back home. A funny story about that, the heated leather seat was turned on only where Heath was sitting in the car and he was just sweating to death but sat in silence and didn't say anything.
Swimming in the hotel pool. I stayed in the jacuzzi with Ryan going back and forth from the steps in the pool to the steps in the jacuzzi. Heath and the big boys played in the pool a lot. The boys really had a great time, for two hours they played in the water, jumped off the sides doing tricks and splashed around.
Watching Madagascar 2, playing Perfection and drawing pictures
Everyone sleeping so good and laying around the next morning, not being in a hurry to do anything

I love hanging out with my family!

  2. What a great family trip! Is that Heath's new coat? It looks like the weather was nice and sunny, perfect for playing in the snow.
