Hey y'all -
After a few weeks at home, we were getting a little stir-crazy and wanted to get out of town for a few days. We have some friends who'd recently bought a house in the tiny mining town just down the mountain from the place we like to ski, so that's how we ended up spending last weekend in Wallace, Idaho. Wallace is known for being the setting of the crap-tastic movie Dante's Peak. Dante's Peak is an awful movie that has somehow earned your dad's undying affection (See also: Hidalgo). I guess geologists just get a little more excited about volcano disaster movies than the rest of us.
Last weekend, however, Wallace was known as the place where we went tobogganing, ate pancakes, went secondhand store shopping, ran crazy in the snow, skated on the sidewalk ice, shared our toys, and generally enjoyed each other's company.
Jude has been in Laney's class since they both turned 2, and now baby Finley and Hagen are in the same class, and pal around together at school all day. It was a great little group of kiddos who had a super time playing together.
...until the volcano erupted and covered us all in an apocalyptic rain of ash and smoldering tinder.
Just kidding! Maybe next time, Thor.
Of course we had to have a ski day on the way home. Laney is getting better at skiing out in front of Dad on the rope, and is starting to learn how to turn on her own.
Hagen is loving playing in the snow at the bottom of the hill and serving as a general welcoming committee to the skiers.
