Kidcation

It's Amy.

Spring Break here and all our kids took their first vacation together without us! They saved up their money and went to Grand Targhee for 3 days skiing/boarding. They stayed in the same condos we used to stay in when they were little. That's where Andrew spoke his first sentence,"Mama, see snow?"
He was trying to show the maid out the balcony window when she brought some towels. That's how long we've been going there!

Elisabeth and I cooked food ahead. We made lasagna, ribs, cinnamon rolls and oh, I can't remember. It was last week! Anyway, we packed a ton of food and it took us all day.

The skiing was so good that they never came in for lunch, but rode 9-4 everyday. They packed sandwiches in their pockets. It snowed a ton and they had a day when they felt like the only people there and  two great powder days--the last day was a bluebird. Which I think means blue sky and deep powder.

Peter and I were a little lonely, even though I was so excited to be home alone.

 Here's Andy in the powder. Oh--some big news! Before the kids left Andy passed his Level lll ski instructor test. Level lll is as high as it goes. We are so proud of him! He could now teach anywhere in the world. But Sun Valley is good for now. Only an hour and a half away.

I only have a few pictures, but may post more if they took more. They better have!
