Like a Little Fish


We went to Brain Head for a weekend and took Jayson and Carrie and cute little Olivia. The wives got massages and the guys hung out and rested. They were supposed to go skiing but we got in so late the night before they had no energy. Yes, we drove through the really bad storm the day before Valentines Day and somehow made it all the way without any trouble. Thank you Heavenly Father! It took us 11 hours. Crazy! The kids did really well. We rented a suburban so we had plenty of room and we watched dvd's on the way down. Well, we took Tavis swimming for the first time and it was so fun! He loves water. . he kept looking around like he couldn't believe there was that much water. It was so cool to watch him get comfortable in the water. We put him on the very top 2 inch step in the hot tub and he was mesmerized by all the bubbles, he couldn't take his eyes off them. He also loved Olivia. He watched he like a hawk, he wanted to touch her (as you see in the picture) he kept putting his hand on her shoulder and legs and face. . definitely cute! Olivia on the other like most girls just wanted her space. He is so interested in everything and I love it! Enjoy!

Nate- riding this last weekend in Tony's Grove was a blast. Definately have to get out and ride soon. I don't have an email for you so figured I would put it here and you would eventually get it. Anyway Brenan said that you had a camera up there and just wondering if you got any pictures with it of the area we were riding. If you have some pics email em' over I would love to see them. jedandcarrie@hotmail.com

Sheesh! I am jealous! I hope someday people like me enough to want to take trips and hang out and have fun with me! This looks like such a fun trip. So did you ski or snowboard? Looks like you are finding all sorts of ways to have fun and make winter great.
