In December we bought a Worldmark Timeshare on ebay. We've used Jon's sisters in the past and really enjoyed the resorts so we figured it'd be worth it to purchase our own. We spent Wednesday and Thursday night in McCall at the timeshare. This is the view from our back windows.
Now that Grandpa Fred is retired he's free to join us on last minute excursions like this. The kids love having their grandparents around. It seems they are much better at playing with the kids than we are. I know for me, I tend to get caught up in life and not realize the small things that really are the most important, like playing with my kids. Grandparents on the other hand, have the
hindsight to know better and take the time for the small, but
most important, things. We missed Grandma who didn't have the freedom to come last minute due to work.
The kids and Grandpa played "memory" Friday morning, a game which 3 year old Lydia is actually really good at. She won fair and square several times.
After taking this picture I showed it to Hyrum and asked him if he really wanted a picture like that on the blog, thinking he would say "no" and smile nicely for another one. Instead, and to my surprise, he excitedly responed, "Yeah, Yeah!" So, here you go Hyrum, just for you!
The resort has a pool and hot tub, exercise room and rec room. We enjoyed all of them, but no pictures to show.
Cute self portrait by my little photographer.
Friday night our ward activities committee hosted an adult Valentine's five course dinner. They had a photographer there, but we didn't get a picture taken since neither of us brought money. Instead we took this photo of us afterward. Jon was wearing a nice light pink shirt at the dinner.
Our first family boat is now gone. In hopes of upgrading to a slightly larger and newer boat, Jon sold ours last week. We have so many fun memories in that boat that it was a bitter sweet moment. Farewell to the 1962 Alumacraft-- you were much enjoyed!

What a fun get-a-way! I'm getting so excited for my kids to get a little older so that we can do some other activities, like skiing. You have such a beautiful family and it looks like you focus on having fun times together. Way to go!!
