Fruitland, Idaho

Mauhler Butte- an extinct volcanic core about 10 mi from grandpa's house.  The boys were excited to go see it but mad when it was on private property and we couldn't climb it.

Sledding in Grandma/Grandpa's front yard.  It was perfect for the kids.  We could watch from the front window and they could pull the sleds up themselves.

Getting used to the cold.  The entire 10 days we were there it didn't get above 32.

 

 


Everybody's favorite...Aunt Michelle.  She and Uncle Adam were the piped pipers of the kids.  All of them would ask about every 30 min.  "Where's Michelle?"  They'd ask her for things, parent's said no too.  If she only realized the power she holds.



Racing down the front yard.

The boys did remarkably well in the cold.  I thought that Owen would complain and refuse to go out since he gets cold in Houston.  But with the proper gear and motivation they stayed out for hours.
