Weekend in McCall

The beginning of our spring break overlaps with the end of Travis' cousins spring break so we took a couple of days off and drove to McCall to spend a long weekend.
All loaded up and ready to go!
 Last year we took the kids skiing at Brundage and they loved it so we wanted to go again this year.  McCall had a lot of snow so we decided to head up to the hill Friday morning. 
 Last year we got an hour long lesson for the kids and it went well so we did it again this year.
 They both did great!
 Last year the instructor tied their tips together but this year they didn't seem to need it.
 Riding the chair lift back to the top.
 Lucas did great!  He probably would have benefited from a private lesson and maybe could have gone up to a harder hill.  He still had fun though!
 Lexie did great too except she kept wanting to sit back.  I think she was a little more scared this year than she was last year.
 It was fun watching her come down the hill!

 
 After a fun day of skiing the kids were excited to go to the pool with their cousins.
 Pool time is one of their favorite things about McCall.






 Another favorite is the delicious food!
 Lucas requested steak and his wish was granted!
 Lexie and I after dinner.
 Hugs for Papa.
 While we were all together we celebrated Lucas, Lexie and Travis' birthdays.
 Blowing out the candles.
Lexie got a new doll to play with.
 Chillaxing before bed and playing on the iPod.
 Saturday morning we went and painted pottery.  I made a Christmas ornament.
 Lexie loved this activity and made a cup for Daddy and a new hair brush.
 Lucas thought it was fun for about five minutes but he did a good job on his cup.
Grandma Cheri was a great help!
 Another favorite activity in McCall - cards!
 Lucas got some pointers from Grandma Cheri.
 He loves playing cards!
 It's always a good time playing cards with Nana!
 After a fun weekend it was time to head home but first we took some pictures.



 Thanks for inviting us Nana and Papa!
 On our way home we stopped at the rest stop by the river.
 The kids liked getting out and watching the water go by.
 Of course, Lexie never met a rock she didn't want to pose on!
Beautiful girl!  It was a fun weekend!
