Red River Spring Break ~ Day 1

We decided to go somewhere

this year for Spring Break.

I wanted to go to San Francisco!

BUT I got out voted.

All the boys wanted to go

to Red River and go skiing.

Really it wasn't that big of

a disappointment for me.

I do LOVE Red River!

The plan was to head out

Saturday morning.  Well about 9:00

Friday night we were done loading up

and just sitting around and the boys

were trying to talk us into

leaving right then instead.

So KC and I looked at each other

and said Let's Do It!

By 9:12pm Friday night 

we were pulling out of our 

driveway!  We drove about half

way and stayed at a little KOA

campground.  The boys were

fine with that because we

at least broke up some of the drive.

The sun rise that next morning was 

GORGEOUS!

We stopped to take a pic 

with this dino and were

off to finish the rest of our drive.

We actually went through our

favorite tiny Slush Puppy town

during the day!  We had to stop.

When we first get there

is always my favorite.

Just stopping to take it

all in.  It's so pretty.

We decided to just hang

out and take it easy.

I bought a bunch of new 

board games and we mixed

in a few of our favorites.

Penny wasn't happy with

all the attention being on

the games and not her.

This Marvel Trivia

was no joke.  I thought my boys 

would be pros at it as mush

as we watch superhero stuff.

Not the case.  These were old school

comic book trivia.  Hard Trivia.

We made it through one game

and that was enough.

My other favorite part about

coming here is that the boys

get to get out and use their 

creativity.  They make up their

own games and explore.

I will miss that when they 

get older.  I took the electronics

away and it's funny how after

the first day, I never even hear 

a word about them.  And never

once do I hear "I'm bored".

It's so nice!

We took the dogs to run

at a little spot close to our

campsite.  Cops likes taking

 breaks and eating snowballs.

All 3 of them love to go

up and down the mountains.

Even our little weenie girl.

She might have to take a

different route because she

can't get over the big logs

sometimes, but it doesn't slow

her down.

Cops brought his stick

home with him.  He wasn't 

leaving without it!

This game is called Last Word.

It's one of the new ones I bought.

It gets crazy ~ We love it!

It was a great first day.

I am so glad we left Friday 

night.  Made our day much

longer that way.
