Wordless Wednesday-A Wyoming View

Home Sweet Home

The vacation to Wyoming was wonderful...but it's always nice to be home :)

The trip went great! We had great roads out and back with no troubles. And I even got a little scrapbooking done :)

The first day the weather was awesome! The sun was out, the snow was fresh and nobody broke down. It was a great day of riding! And I wasn't even the first one to get stuck :) Jesse's cousin took that honor this year.

And here's a couple of shots of the guys climbing:

The second day was probably the most fun :) We went to town and got Jesse a new sled! We'd been looking around home and weren't able to find what we wanted. When they offered us what we wanted for Jesse's old sled...the deal was done! Don't worry, I didn't go home empty handed...I made them throw in a new Hot Pink Coat!!!

We were going to try riding a half day that afternoon, but it was snowing and the wind was blowing so hard we could barely see, so we decided not to chance it.

The third day was a partial success. When we went out, it was still snowing and blowing really hard. I was having a hard time seeing and sort of had a melt down...I think they call that being a wuss! I made Jesse take me back to the hotel. Luckily he was able to ride his new sled that afternoon with the rest of our group :)

It was just so nice to get away for a while and have fun with friends :) That being said...home sure is nice too! My own shower, my own bed and my puppy :) Too bad it comes with laundry, giving the dog a bath and getting caught up with life now!

Hope you had a great week!

Time for a Vacation!

Jesse and I are both ready for a vacation! After all the overtime we have been working...I think we deserve this one :)

We are headed out to Wyoming this morning!!! We haven't been on a snowmobile trip in a few years, so we're both pretty excited to be going!

We'll be joined by 4 other riders that we normally go with. It is always such a good time...ride all morning, stop for lunch, ride all after afternoon, eat supper and hang out and have fun at night :)

The drive out can be daunting...but I've got a scrapbook care package ready to bring with me :) But I was told no xacto knife in the car this time...Jesse's a fun-hater...LOL! So I'll just bring other things to work on :)

I've scheduled posts for the whole time we're gone...so stop by all week to see what I've got in store for you!

Favorite Winter Activity-Blog Carnival Submission

AliciaMae is our host this week with these two topics for our options:

1) Snowflakes - your favorite way to make them or your favorite item on Etsy featuring them

2) Favorite winter time activity/how to keep kids occupied during snow days (indoors or outdoors)

Since I am leaving next Tuesday to go on a snowmobile trip...I guess I'll choose #2 :)

I had never ridden a snowmobile until I met Jesse. One year we were skiing in Colorado (which wasn't going well at all!!!) and we decided to go rent snowmobiles. Soon after that trip, we bought our own sleds and have been riding ever since :)

We used to go on 1-2 trips each year out west to find snow. We've been to Wyoming several times, Montana and Colorado. The last couple of years we haven't been able to go and we knew we needed to get out there again this year!

We leave Tuesday for Wyoming and I can't wait! I'm so excited to get away for a while and play in the fresh powder :)
