Jackson Hole

Feb 12-15th

This Valentine's day, we spent the weekend with some of our best friends in Alpine Junction, just south of Jackson Hole. It was a blast. We decided that it just might be worth it to buy a big house and live together (now that would be interesting) so our kids could play together and we could have game nights every night.

Funny yet very scary story...we were pulling all the men on sleds behind our Explorer and decided to try it with the kids (much slower). We pulled them up to a hill and parked. David was in a sled with Hazel and Lucy and I was behind him with Charlotte. Lucy's mom, Juliann was down the hill a bit to watch and help slow us down, if needed. WELL, suddenly the car starts rolling down the hill, right behind Charlotte and I. I grabbed her coat, and jumped onto the snow bank while yelling "David! David!" (This is the best part) David kicks the girls in the sled down the hill to Juliann, turns around (by now the car was sliding pretty fast) and stops the car within a few feet with his bare hands. Meanwhile, Juliann grabs Hazel and throws her onto the embankment and then does the same with Lucy, just in case. The poor girls were having a great time until they were ripped off the sled and thrown into the snow! My 2nd favorite part (the 1st being my studly husband saving the day) was when we were all in the car, still shaking, and Juliann says "I need to write Hazel an apology note. I think I scared her to death." So funny. Take it from us, don't ever park a car at the top of a snow-covered hill and sled down behind it!

Thanks to everyone for a great vacation. We love you guys.
