This week was James' Spring Break, so we drove to Idaho on Thursday night. Friday, we skiied at Bogus Basin (THANK YOU DAD!). Saturday, we skiied at Soldier Mountain (Merry Christmas!) and then drove the rest of the way home again.
Friday 3/22/12 Good Morning Lincoln and Bree
Base Camp at Bogus is the motor home. Oma, thanks for being Lincoln's buddy!
My James!
Jessi and Lincoln watching the skiiers go by!
Lincoln even got out for a few runs - here we are on the Magic Carpet.
And on Lincoln's first chairlift ride - Coach beginner lift. We didn't realize it until Kurt said something, but we had three people on a two-person chair. Such Outlaws!
