Swan Valley

Cruz checkin' for wild life!

Seeing if using Grammy's reading glasses will help him see any better!

We went to Swan Valley, Idaho for a long weekend. Shawn ended up working a lot so we could leave Thursday night after work. We ended up skiing at Grand Targhee, just outside of Driggs on Friday. It was very nice because my mom came with us. Between the 2 of us we bought one ticket and would swap watching the kids. Cruz, Grandma, and Shawn started out skiing first (Alegra and I hung out in the lodge). Then Cruz was done skiing and Grandma watched Cruz and Alegra while Shawn and I took a few hours to ski. Grandma and Shawn ended up finishing the day with a few runs too! The snow was incredible, fresh powder, but the visibility wasn't great. Nonetheless, I love that resort and always have a great time there. The kids were really good too! Alegra just went with the flow. I had several people comment that I was starting her pretty young :)! Cruz did a great job skiing, probably his longest run yet, and then had a wonderful time playing in the lodge. There was another little girl in the lodge that was Cruz's exact age, so AnnaTaylor and Cruz played well. On Saturday we just enjoyed our time around home. It was a beautiful sunny winter day in Swan Valley and we all went on a walk, played in the snow, rode the 4-wheeler (Cruz likes to call it the 3-wheeler), watched the wild turkeys, took naps, made Valentines Day treats, and hung out! We headed back home Sunday afternoon.

It was fun to spend time with Grammy this weekend. She has been very busy since Alegra's birth so it was nice to have some down time with her!
