Wydaho Skiers

We went out to Wyoming to visit Ben and Linda and enjoyed our first downhill ski trip as family.  Despite very, very cold conditions we had an amazing time!  I think we could be a ski family.   It was just gorgeous and soooo fun!  Thanks to Ben and Linda for organizing everything and hosting us.  Loved it!

The drive to the Wyoming border was gorgeous.  So many photo opps!

Renting our skis - we skied at Grand Targhee in WY, which is right near the border of ID, so Ben told us people call the skiers "Wydaho" skiers.

Skiing family!

Our fans!  Was great to have them hanging out in the lodge because Luke ended up getting sick (tummy troubles) and they ski school people brought him to Grandma and Grandpa (Matt and I were skiing).  Matt ended up getting the stomach bug, too, and then Claire got it later that week.  Ugh.

Ski school girl.  She cried and cried when we left her for her 2 hour ski school, but then loved ended up loving skiing.

Views were gorgeous!

Luke rode the ski lift for the first time!

Above the clouds.  What the locals call "an inversion"

Luke's ski school teacher, he did great!

They got her on the ski lift on the last day!  Brave girl.

Couldn't quite get up the hill for the pic

But then, boy, was it worth it!  Great picture with Grand Teton in the background.
