Grand Targhee

Last Spring break looked a little like this:

This year was the total and complete opposite:

Even though MY boys don't have spring break until next week, we decided to skip a couple days of school and join my family for their spring break over in our neck of the woods at Grand Targhee Resort. 500+ inches a year and  view to DIE for! It's only about 1.5 hours away from our house. Awesome!

We skied, swam, ate GREAT food, and had a fantastic time together.

We went on a horse drawn sleigh ride up to a yurt and had en ENORMOUS steak and chicken dinner. The chef kept HEAPING mountains food on our plates. It was SO delicious.

We also got the boys up on some skis for the first time ever. Of course, Parker took to it after about 2 runs. He was doing the pizza and turning all the way down the bunny hill, getting on the magic carpet and getting off with NO assistance! That kid is impressive.
Dal had a harder time but he tried really hard and didn't get frustrated. He had fun and still wants to do it again. Landon had a blast for about an hour and then he was done.
Nate, my dad and I were all EXHAUSTED after an entire morning of teaching boys. ☺

In the afternoon Nate and I went skiing with my parents and brother. It was so beautiful and SUNNY out, no lines, not a lot of people, and tons of fresh snow. It was a good thigh burning workout for my legs since Zumba doesn't work my thighs like skiing does!

We went swimming a few times as well in the hot tub and pool. Nothing makes you feel more ALIVE then running out of the hot tub, rolling in snow and then jumping back in.  Yowie!

Such a fun FUN time! I love my family. I'm so grateful for each one of them. We made memories to last a lifetime! So, what are we doing next week for OUR spring break? ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!! Sleeping in and laying low! Sounds good to me!
