Silver Mountain Ski Resort

For Christmas this year, my parents paid for a weekend at Silver Mountain Resort in Kellogg, Idaho for the whole family.  The also bought passes to the waterpark there and any snow sport we wanted to do. 

The condo we stayed at:

The main room.  There was a living room set up with a fireplace and a full function kitchen.  We made all our meals while we were up there.  Each family was in charge of a meal.

The kitchen.  It also had a washer and dryer on the opposite wall.

The booked a main room and the adjacent room so there was 2 bathrooms, 2 beds, 2 fold out couches for everyone.

Unfortunately there was no snow, so thank goodness for the water park.  If anyone has been to Kellogg, not a whole lot going on there. Tyler ready to go swimming.  Fur hat, swim suit and cowboy boots, what more do you need?!  The water park is amazing and I would recommend it to all!  There is a lot to do and so family friendly.  If Andrew didn’t want to go down the water slide by himself, one of us could go.  There was 2 toddler areas, a play structure area that anyone could go on, a surf wave pool, obstacle pool, big lazy river, a hot tub, 2 big waterslides and a water raft slide for families to go on.  We would definitely go back for the water park.  Andrew LOVED it and we spent hours there.

My sister and her fiancé went snowboarding but said all the snow was man made and not very fun. I bet if we went this weekend, we would have lots of fun with all the snow!

Grandma brought the dissolvable water capsules that turn into animals.  Andrew thought they were pretty cool.

Andrew loves his Uncle Tyler and the both of them had a great time together.

One afternoon, we went on a drive around Kellogg and Wallace to see all the historic mining places and equipment.  Aaron was quite impressed with this substation where the transformer structures are all made of wood.  Since working at SEL, we have to stop and look at the substations where ever we are.

We had such a great weekend and can’t wait to go back!  Thanks mom and dad!

Remote Control Truck

Andrew finally got around to opening his last Christmas present a couple of Sundays ago.  Since Aaron and the rest of the big boys got remote control helicopters for Christmas from my parents, we thought AJ would like a remote control to play with too.  We found him this remote control truck and he loves it!  Now when Aaron flies his remote control helicopter, AJ drives his truck.  They have lots of fun together.

Mascara…Really?!

Andrew helped himself to my make up bag again.  Maybe I should put it up high or out of sight.  He has such amazing long eyelashes that he did a pretty good job.  He hated when I washed it off, but we were going out to dinner and I didn’t want him wearing mascara in public.  He threw the biggest fit!
