Friday August 7, 2015 - The entire backseat is asleep - driving from Idaho to Utah.
Saturday August 8, 2015 - Wunderli Family Reunion. 3 generations: Lincoln, Oma, Jessi, Grandma-Great and Meta
Jed, Tucker, Hannah and Kurt came to Utah for two family ski days. On January 2nd, we all went up to Brighton for some turns. On the 3rd, they went back to Brighton for some back country adventure.
Jan 2nd - Hannah, Lincoln and Tucker prepped to go outside. It was about 6-degrees, so Linc went outdoors for less than five minutes, but I did get a couple ski runs while Aunt Kristen played with Linc at the Brighton Center.
Here's the hikers on January 3rd - Kurt, Clay, Kristen, Tucker, James, Hannah and Jed. Emma and Aspen had to go to school and Linc and I stayed home where it was warm!
For Christmas, we bought 2-for-1 tickets to Soldier Mountain in Fairview, ID as a "present" for my Dad. Basically, we bought ourselves a lift ticket to go skiing sometime with him. Merry Christmas!
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!
Carter, Lincoln and Jessi, and James skiing down the Coach beginner run.
Video of the same ski run (THANKS KURT for documenting all this!):
Saturday 3/23/12 Hi Lincoln! Base camp is in the lodge at Soldier Mountain. Thanks Oma for being Lincoln's lodge buddy again today!

Quick trip. Fun trip. Let's do it again next year!
This weekend we went to Idaho for a special reason. McKayla got baptised! We have a picture with her in her beautiful dress, but it is in Kim's camera - I hope she blogs some!!!! HINT HINT!!!! Lucky me - she blogged - click here.
These were taken at Sierra Trading Post. After dinner we went out to buy a netbook sleeve for James' new computer and McKayla came along for the ride. Can you see why she's one of my favorite shopping buddies!?!
James and I stayed at the old farmhouse behind the dental office. The same house we lived in as brand-newly-weds. But the house is a bit more active now - Christy, Tyler and Jake. (Thanks Kurt and Carlee for a place to sleep and breakfasts!)
We got to visit the Dotys - Emma and Aspen showed me their scrapbooks (I'm impressed Kristen! And thanks for optimising our new computer Clay.)
Aspen let me curl her hair for church - doesn't she look so grown up!?
And Emma has such a beautiful smile!
I'm just glad they let me take their picture!
We also visited Chickadee Bead Art and the Simpsons. I had a birthday gift certificate for a watch (THANK YOU Jed & Maria!!!) and it was so fun to design my own. I got to choose everything from the watch face to the beads to the spacers. I didn't think I'd like the bigger beads, but when I was done, that is all I used! Stella helped me string the beads and Jed fed us lunch while Maria made strawberry pie (again!) for Tucker's birthday. I'm sad we didn't get to stay for pie and presents, but it was a fun visit.
When it was time to go, I offered to adopt McKayla. She refused - said she needed to go to school on Wednesday. I almost convinced Carter, but he's pretty excited for kindergarten and decided to stay home after all.
Finally, we just loaded up G and G Price and left all the munchkins behind. (Thanks for carpooling with us!)
