Vacation

Almost a month ago, we (Leighton, Randy and I) made the 16 hour drive out to Jackson WY for vacation.  You can probably guess by the destination it was Randy's turn to pick a vacation spot, cause really WY in the winter....brrrr! 

The drive actually wasn't too bad...all I  know is that if you think Iowa is boring to drive across you haven't driven across Nebraska! Leighton was an awesome rider, beside a little car/altitude sickness and one speeding ticket (Randy's), the ride was pretty uneventful.

Our main purpose of this destination was to ski. Due to cold weather and lack of good snow, once we arrived we figured this vacation was going to be a bust, but then the skies got cloudy and dumped about 5 FEET of snow on the month!  Making for one happy skier in our clan (Randy)! 

We were able to get Leighton up on skis, short time as it was, she seemed to enjoy it.  We saw wild Elk, horned sheep, lots of snow, played in the children's museum, did a little swimming, and managed to sleep in each day! (Thanks to the boys playing back in Buchanan Co @ grandma's/nana's...we did start to miss them...well at least by Thursday!)

All and all a good vacation even with lots of snow and very very cold temperatures.  I am sure we will be back for a summer vacation once the kids are a bit older.

(yay for me after a good year for finally figuring out to insert a slideshow, now will I be able to it again?)
