Our Visit to the Frozen Tundra of the North

Laugh all you want, but it was COLD.  Brandon went shooting on New Year's Day and it was -12 degrees.  That said, we had a wonderful time.


Here is Spencer playing in the big blow up slide.  We went to a place with Brandon's family that had one of these, a huge trampoline complex, laser tag (which we as a family might have to do more of),  mini golf in black light, bowling and air hockey.  It was so much fun to spend the day with cousins and Brandon's brothers.

This is Spence & Liam, his second cousin that is just a couple weeks younger.  They had a lot of fun feeling each other out. Hopefully, they will become good friends in time.

Brandon's Grandma McBride with Spencer.  This is the closest he let her get.

Then we traveled to the Tundra of Idaho.

Our 3 year old cousin playing Operation.  I had to include it because it is so cute.

One day while we were in Idaho the men went out so we girls and the kids dipped chocolates.  The kids had so much fun.
 
 

This is how Karissa spent a lot of her time.

Perhaps the most surprising event of the whole trip happened towards the end.  We went to McDonald's in Cortez, CO on our way home.  While we were waiting for our food Karissa mentions that she thought she saw a friend from Millville.  I told her that was not likely, but was curious how much this person looked like our friend.  Only to realize it was our friend from Millville, on her way home with her son from Las Cruses to visit family for the holidays.  Needless to say we were both very surprised and had a nice visit.
Until Next Year!

Can you send me the real sized picture of my girl, and the one with Grandma? They really are adorable pictures.
