On our way up we passed a couple that was in our group, Tyson and Jen Campbell, my dad was flying with his big snowmobile trailer and their faces looked angry then they realized it was us and laughed, then we passed Tyson's parents, Shelly and Paul Campbell, and he just stuck his tongue out at us :) then we came upon a moose….
it was trotting and I thought it was just go off the road but instead it started to gallop next to our truck and was going about 25 MPH! it was so cute!
My mom and Baylor- he is ready to go in his turquoise suit that was Uncle Boone's when he was little (my mom in law has everything)
he doesn't seem to excited...
We park at Alpine and ride our snowmobiles in 30 miles in to the lodge.
we each had our own sleds and Dean carried Baylor in some of the way then I did the rest.
my parents
Dean and I
The beautiful Grey's River-I really want to see it in the summertime
Dean just having fun off the trail...
We made it to the lodge with an 8 month old and it took 3 hours :)
this is a pic of our cabin-we got the biggest one because it was available and it belongs to a private owner and not the lodge's so we got a good deal
We decided to go on a little ride up to Blind Bull where a warming hut is, but i accidentally called it a hot house so I think that's what it will be called to us from now on…same thing right?
on our ride up we spotted a moose again-I think they are such a goofy cute animal!
look how deep the snow is!
Dean's rental snowmobile over heated here are the guys trying to figure out why it won't start-shawn atkinson, Tyson campbell, Casey Olsen, my dad hiding behind Dean. Tyson kept saying that something in the engine was "hotter than a firecracker" he said it a few times and Casey said, "hotter than a firecracker huh?" and would smile a little. haha it was funny and I just sat and watched til they got it to run.
At Blind Bull they had 10 in. of fresh powder it looked like rolling prairie hills covered in untouched snow. and here is Dean jumping over a cornis (sp?)
I never really like selfies and never take them but I thought i better have one in my life...
yeah and here is me jumping haha before we left i eventually got my backend off the ground :)
The ladies hang in out in the lodge-my mom, tami (shelly campbell's sister), Tyona Atkinson, and Shelly
Chris white and sherri jorgenson
When we first got to our cabin and unloaded we realized that some gas leaked on our way in and totally soaked my parents suitcase and got ours a little bit but thank goodness Baylor's bag was good. this is a pic of my parents stuff airing out-we basically wore one outfit for 3 days:) i only had one change of shirt and so did Dean and my parents didn't have anything. what an adventure!
Baylor ready to go for a ride!
My parents in our cabin
Baylor man just had some lunch
Playing mormon bridge with chris and jen (dean took the pic) We just love chris! while playing cards i mentioned to her how she reminded me of my mom in law in how competitive she was and she responded by saying ,"what are you talking about i'm mild and meek" Jen said, "ya she is the bishop's wife" Dean pipes in "so is my mom" haahaa we laughed so hard talking with her! she went with a ride with some of the guys and it was pouring rain during their ride she comes back in the lodge and says, "well that wasn't F-U-N" she is very witty and funny in her remarks. the day that we left she was holding Baylor and she took him over to the stuffed buffalo and says, "ta-tonka" I just started laughing because that means buffalo in sioux and its on the movie, dances with wolves, i love movies so i instantly knew where she got that from and just laughed about it all week!
Baylor being guided by keith olsen to get the lodge's cat named tabitha
playing the game left, center, right
we played a round with each person put in 3 quarters and paul won!- he threw his arms up and yelled, "yes!" and shelly hurries and grabs all the quarters (it was 12 bucks worth). so we played another round with each person putting in 3 dollars and what are the odds but Shelly wins!!!! Paul grabs his wife's face and kisses her (they are not a PDA type couple) and then throws his arms in the air and yells "yes!" then grabs all the cash (about 50 bucks) and stuffs it in his pockets! we were all dying laughing!!
i can see why gambling can be addicting i wanted to play again!
All the guys went on a ride to Cabin creek-it was too hard for the women so we talked and played games in the lodge-it is so beautiful there-this is shawn atkinson and dean
Shawn and my dad
on our ride out Baylor did a lot better and it only took 2 hours to get out.
the atkinsons, my parents, and us
just about to load up the snowmobiles to go home--me and my little man!
what a fun trip that was and we can't wait to go again and i can't wait to do it without a baby :) even though he was a pretty good boy
