January would not be January if we did not go to Winter Carnival. Per tradition we went with our best friends the Ricks and the Hulls. What a great weekend of memory making and more snow than anyone could ever need. The drive up was very uneventful, but the drive home left a bit to be desired. I think McCall wanted to keep us there. That would have been fine by me.
The kids were older this year which meant we could have a bit more fun. J and C had no fear when it came to sledding with Daddy down some pretty steep slopes. (My mother is having a heart attack right now...)
This was also the first time we saw fireworks at Winter Carnival. Because it was so dark so early, they were shot off at 6:30 at night. Which means the kids got to go to bed on time! Yeah for Mommy and Daddy. The fireworks were shot off on the lake and we were able to get really close. Imagine everything stark white with new glistening snow and extraordinary fireworks right above you. Everything was lit up, including our kids faces! What a special memory.
The best part was fun together with no interuptions. No work, no appointments or meetings. And of course it wouldn't be Winter Carnival without a Sequence tournament!
We already can't wait until next year. Thank you, dear friends, for making it a wonderful vacation!!

Glad it was McCall. For a second there I thought Boise had turned blizzard. Sledding was so much more fun this year with a big kid. Nathan shot down the steepest hills we could find in Idaho City - although he did just about die twice when snowboarders went careening down the same path. I'm glad that you all had so much fun!
We had alot of fun too. Glad we could share it with you guys. -Emmett
What a great time! You guys are good moms - I try to avoid the wet and cold as much as possible... sure it beautiful to look at though! :)
