Sunday we were able to just take it easy with the cousins. We made Cafe Rio Pork Salads and Valentines themed cupcakes. Later we were favored with hilarity of Danny Kaye in the Court Jester. I still don't know if Seth is convinced of how awesome that movie really is.
Monday we were able to enjoy beautiful Idaho snowshoe style. We didn't quite make it to Mesa Falls, but we felt accomplished and very pleased with our surroundings. Patrick is trying very hard to maintain his masculine role, being very macho and very much the only guy for the majority of the trip. Bless you my dear husband!
We were all very proud of Maddy who came along to take photos and didn't really know what she was getting into. To be fair none of us did. I hope some turned out, we can't wait to see them. Maddy is a very talented photographer. It was really fun to see her doing what she loves. I love my family!
You can see the river through the trees. It was so beautiful, we greatly misjudged the length of the hike. Near the end we were all pretty tired so we decided to take a shorter route back for the taqueria in Ashton, muy bueno! It was wonderful to spend time with family and see more of that Idaho sky. I'm really grateful for the great people in our lives and so many great wonders to enjoy so close. Thanks again to Maddy and Seth, Katie, Annie and Mom and Dad for the gas money home! We are so blessed. Valentines was definitely full of love this year!
It looks like you guys had such a fun weekend together! That's so cool that you got to go snowshoeing. I'm sure it was beautiful up there!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait for you and Patrick to come out here and bring some of your adventuring spirit! I'm sure you'll be a lot better than we've been at finding cool stuff to do in St. Louis. At the very least, we'll have to have lots of Sunday dinners and Rook games. We're really excited to have you guys nearby.
That looks amazing! But if it's raw, natural beauty you're looking for, just wait till you see the stunning vistas that downtown St. Louis has to offer. We're too excited for you to be our here. Just let us know if there's anything you need us to do for you before you get out here.
ReplyDeleteSo fun! And Abby you look so so so cute in that photo by the sink!
