Big Sky Snowboarding Trip

I have the best news ever... my nephew Jake and a couple of his friends came up to spend a couple days with us last week!

I was so excited that they were able to come hang with us before Jake leaves for his mission. (He leaves on Feb. 25th for the Dominican Republic...exciting)

Friday, they went to Bridger Bowl to snowboard while Brock and I were at work. Friday night we went to some nearby hot springs and soaked up some warm water.

Saturday we all went snowboarding up at Big Sky. The drive up the canyon to the resort is so beautiful and we saw a Moosey on the way. We spent the whole day at the Ski Resort and got a lot of runs in and enjoyed the views of the mountains. Big Sky Resort is so nice, I've never been to such a nice resort. However, it is really spendy compared to the other resorts nearby, so we'll probably stick to Bridger!

Saturday night we went out to eat at Old Chicago...YUM, sooo good. We were all exhausted from a long day on the mountain, so after dinner we went home and crashed!

Sunday came all too soon, and it was time for the boys to head home. Jake wanted to head out early to make it home for the Super Bowl. (Steelers Fan) It was hard to see him go, it's the last time I will see him for two whole years. Yikes, it made me cry.

Anyway, I'm glad they came and we had a great time having them here.
Lone Peak- all the boys ventured to the tip top of the mountain and boarded down. Apparently it was pretty "Epic".Me and Jake- isn't he such a cutie? Can you believe I have a nephew old enough to go on a mission? Brock took this on the lift to the top of Lone Peak
This is a weird pic of me but you can see how beautiful the mountains are!

This is one of the runs that were more "my size". At the base of the mountain they have these huge nice hotels. Brock says it was like a "Dumb & Dumber Resort", too fancy for us to ever stay there!


Jake, Bo, & Nolan
I took this right before they left for home. I thought it would be fun to send a copy to Jake while he's out.
