"Insta"-replay 102, and to all a good night!

Last replay of 2015! Well, next week's will also be about 2015 but it will be in 2016.

This Christmas we decided to visit Idaho.  It meant giving up a few traditions and gaining a week of memories that we will look back on with smiles and laughter.

The trip was supposed to take about nine hours.  After sitting for a few hours the girls were excited to get out and stretch.  Their excitement grew when they saw the snow!  Little did we know just how much snow we would be seeing.

The trip got a bit longer when the freeway was closed down.  We found out there had been an accident in time to turn around but not in time to find a reasonable alternative route.  Still staying the night at a hotel beat sleeping in the van!

Next day, bright and early we were on our way, again.

Then, at last we were there!  Cousins galore and much silliness.

The rest of the week was spent playing in the snow while parents sat inside where it was warm.

When they weren't outside the kids were still rarely seen.  Legos and Barbies were constantly being played with!

We made a few trip out and about to see the local sights, like Chick-fil-A.

Seeing a snow covered zoo was fun.  The animals that were out were all very active.

After a few hours outside we were happy to spend a few hour inside learning at the discovery center.

After that crazy, fun filled week I think I am ready to sleep for at least a week!  Hope your Christmas was filled with memories and that you have s chance to rest up from the excitement.
