Grandpa told us that we were supposed to spend Spring Break in warmer climates. Unfortunately, we got this memo a little too late. Aunt Sherri and Uncle Curtis (Hi!) have a condo in Big Sky, Montana, that they let us use for Spring Break (thanks Aunt Sherri and Uncle Curtis!). When we left our house in Washington, it was snowing lightly, not enough to stick to the ground, and was about 34 degrees. Montana, about 5 feet of snow on the ground, around 10 degrees, but pretty bright and sunny... so happy.
We had a great time! We went sledding, ice skating (the kids had never skated before and really liked it - they all want to take lessons now), hiking and shopping. Chad and Derrick went snowboarding and really loved it! They haven't been since we were in Canada almost 4 Christmases ago.
On our way there, we almost hit an "elk" (not really sure what it was - today it's an elk) and got caught in a snowstorm on the Idaho/Montana border. We also got our car stuck in the snow while sledding one day and had to call AAA to come and tow us out, but other than that, had a really fun time, and really enjoyed the week together... even with Cooper! We found out that he really likes snow.
