Yurt Trip

We had such a great weekend! I am definitely going on this trip again. Blake's sibling's families and ours went cross country skiing up outside of Idaho City. We skied in 2 miles to reach our home, The Skyline Yurt. It was a little bit rocky in the beginning because another group arrived at the yurt about 1 hour after we had gotten settled in (For any one who doesn't know, these yurts are out in the middle of no where-and take quite the time to get to on skis). After quite the mess of trying to determine who had the yurt for the weekend and who had documentation, the group of older adults caved in and let us keep the yurt because they didn't know how we would turn around and hike back out with 5 little kids. Frankly, I didn't know how we were going to manage that either if that was going to be the solution.


After that rocky start, we settled in and enjoyed our cozy bungalow. Who can't say they don't love a lot of hanging out, card playing time, and good old time out doors in the middle of no where.

Jane and Warren. I do have to give it up for my sweet little niece who is only 5 and skied both in and out on her own and a majority of the time she was skiing faster than me.

What a life!
