DID WE HAVE WINTER YET?

THE GIRLS AT TARGHEE

PRESIDENTS WEEKEND WE HAD ALL THE KIDS IN IDAHO TO CELEBRATE JEFFS BIRTHDAY AND WE SPENT A DAY AT TARGHEE SKIING... IT WAS HAILEYS FIRST TIME ON SKIS (I'M SURE HER GRANDPA AND DADDY WERE VERY PROUD, EVEN THOUGH HAILEY WAS NOT HAVING SUCH A GREAT TIME.)

HOWEVER, THIS YEAR HAS BEEN THE CRAZIEST WINTER I THINK WE HAVE EVER EXPERIENCED. WE HAVE NOT HAD A LOT OF SNOW. IT SNOWS AND THEN IT IS GONE. WE FINALLY USED OUR SNOW BLOWER LAST WEEK FOR THE FIRST TIME ALL YEAR. WE HAVE BEEN ABLE TO SKI A LITTLE BUT NOT NEAR AS MUCH THIS YEAR AS LAST. WE WENT THIS WEEKEND AND 1/2 THE LIFTS WERE CLOSED, AND IT WAS ALMOST 50 DEGREES IN THE PARKING LOT, NEEDLESS TO SAY WE DIDNT STAY. I AM REALLY HOPING FOR ONE MORE SKI DAY BEFORE THE END OF THE YEAR BECAUSE WE HAVE TWO PASSES LEFT AND THEY REALLY NEED TO BE USED.

THANK GOODNESS FOR OUR TRIP TO ITALY. IT WAS THE HIGHLIGHT OF OUR SKI SEASON THIS YEAR. AND IT MIGHT BECOME SOMETHING WE COULD GET USED TO. MORE TO COME ABOUT THE TRIP.
