A MONUMENTAL DAY!!

Are you getting sick of my Yellowstone posts yet? TOO BAD, I am not done! Two more to endure...I must document this fabulous trip for posterity! SO THERE!! (Hannah's expression says it all!)

Here is the evidence...RICH WENT CROSS COUNTRY SKIING...I know, I know, HOLD ON TO YOUR BRITCHES! I have been begging him to go with me for over 10 years...well he couldn't stand my bitching and moaning any longer...j/k, he offered to go this year, needless to say, I was THRILLED!

Our ski trip on this very fine day(sometime between Christmas and New Year's Day) was a big deal! We haven't ever had this big of a group (consisting solely of family) before...we had 9 skiers and 2 kids riding in the ski sled...AWESOME! I was on a high...it was great! (I know, I really do need to get out more!)

SEE? I really was EXCITED!!

Tiff hauled in her camera...THANKS for the great pictures Tiffany!

Here is Grammy, Hannah, Kirk, Marshall, Tiff and Whit. We were pausing here, at the trailhead, so Kirk and Marshall could go down the hill a couple of times. They had a great time together!

Rich was too excited, he couldn't wait for us, he was off to explore the trails...he is pulling Georgia and John in the sled...can you see them?

Marshall, Tiff and Whit (Ruby and Luke stayed at the cabin with Great-Grandma, they wanted NOTHING to do with skiing!) Thanks for watching them for us Connie! Look at these champs!! They did great!

Here is that cute boy of mine, working hard, pulling the kids! Having the time of his life...I am still trying to convince him that it was, in fact, the time of his life!! (He still very much prefers down hill skiing, I'll keep working on him)

Karen and Tiff...what a good day! I love this outdoor family time!

It was beautiful too, it snowed almost the entire time we were out!

After our ski, most of us were still smiling...John was screaming! GRANDPA GEORGIA AND TIFF
