It has been a joyous time in Idaho for the holiday. The Scofields arrived on the 19th and the Crosbys arrived on the 21st. Finn and Joanne arrived on the 24th so everyone is here and was ready for a great visit.
Snow arrived to lightly cover the ground on Christmas Eve. It was so pretty and, of course, you just need to look up to the hills to see the snow cover. Josh, his dad and I went to Bogus Mountain to cross country ski. It was so much fun! We only fell down a couple of times. There was new powder and it was so quiet and pretty. The only mistake we made was not going earlier in the visit so that we could go back again before returning east.
Josh also took us to Oregon and the Oregon Trail Interpretive Center. It was a very slow, snowy trip but the center was terrific. We put our feet in the wagon ruts that still exist from the emmigrant trails of a hundred years ago! On the way out we kept seeing these big double trailers with rocks in them. It seemed strange and we couldn't figure out why they were moving rocks. Lo and behold, they were potatoes (not rocks) going to the OreIda plant! Just amazing.
It has been a wonderful time with our family. Idaho is a great place and we encourage all if you to come out and visit. The accommodations are great!
Liz Crosby, Mom
