Trip to Idaho- Day 2

 The morning started like every other morning. The kids both woke up at 7am Idaho time. I got up with the kids and made them some breakfast. Then we waited for everyone else to wake up and start their day too. Once everyone had woken up and it warmed up to a wooping -4 degrees, we got our snow stuff on and went out side.

 It was very cold overnight and my poor car was frozen! (Yes we are parked in the backyard)

 My parents, the kids, David and I all hit the snow. My cousin Logan was going to come out with us, but as we were heading out at 10:45 am he remembered he had a Dr appointment at 11 am. But we told him we would go out later.

 We used sleds to go down the little hill in the backyard. But at times the kids just went down with nothing. They didn't care how they went down, they were just so excited to play in the snow again.

 After some hours of playing outside, we went back inside to warm up and wait for Great Grandma to come.

 Once she arrived at the house, we took some time to hang out with her. Kaitlynn was so excited to see her and spent so much time in the room. Andrew was eating lunch when she arrived and took a little more time to say hi.

 But we got a nice picture of Grandma with Andrew!

 After the first outing in the morning. My dad and David drove around the small town looking for some good snow gloves for Kaitlynn. But none of the stores had kids gloves, so we got the next best thing, Hello Kitty Duck tape. We ended up taping Kaitlynn's gloves to her jacket. He gloves would separate from her jacket and get her hands wet and cold. The duck tape took care of that problem and made for an enjoyable second adventure outside in to what was now 0 degrees.

 Grandma watched from a window while we played outside. She told us that she really enjoyed watching us and the kids playing outside. My cousin Logan was able to join us this time and he built a snow cave for the kids. They thought it was the coolest thing.

After another couple hours with it getting late in the day, we called it quits and we retreated back into the warm house. For the rest of the day, we watched TV, ate some dinner and visited with Grandma. It was a long but fun filled day. We were able to visit with family and the kids went to bed fast.
