Winter in Idaho

We spent two weeks in Idaho over the holidays. Rick's family was having a family reunion and all 37 immediate family members (all 8 kids plus spouses and grandchildren) were going to be there. I flew up with the boys and Ricky drove so we could take camera gear, Christmas presents and lots of winter clothes up and back.  Our poor new Explorer sure got broken in on this trip. The first day we arrived it was snowing and snowed for a few days.  The boys liked it at first but the novelty wore off pretty quickly and then you just realize that it's COLD! We stayed in the guest house at Tutu's so we had some space all to ourselves. The first five days was just us, Roo's family and JJ's family so it was not so hectic and we got to hang out, play in the snow, go to the movies to see the Hobbit and Frozen and visit.
 Our car made it just fine in the snow and drove really well but I don't ever like driving in the snow.

 Logan realized it was a little harder to ride his green machine in the snow than he thought it would be. He did a few sessions for about 20-30 minutes throughout the couple of weeks and then would come in and warm up. 

Ricky spent some time shoveling snow with his brothers to clear the driveway so the Heatizon would work more quickly. Logan was glad so that it was easier for him to drive his "tractor."
