Cross Country Skiing into a YURT!!

This is something I have always wanted to do, but never

had.  The Hansen's ask us to go along and we were all

for it.  Didn't really know what we were doing, but

they were all prepared and we were ready to go! We

crossed country skied several miles in.  Allie and Owen

skied the whole way in, while Blake pulled Will, Sophie 

and Olivia.  He has a heavy load.  It was a beautiful hike

in and a good little work out!

Kim and I made sure we stayed with Allie and Owen

so we stopped several times along the way.  Our

The is the YURT!!  Idaho City, Idaho

It wasn't very bit, just one big room for all 10 of us!

The beautiful view!

All of our ski's!

Allie and Owen bring snow in.  We had to get snow, melt

it and then purify it to be able to drink it.  We packed all

our food and sleeping gear in too.  What you pack in, 
you pack out.

The kids helping Blake purify the water and refiling
all the water bottles.  Quite the process!

Me and my hubby 

The kids found a snow hill and cave.  We did a little sledding

but the hill was quite painful to climb back up.  The kids

had a great time playing in the snow though.

The snow cave.  What a fun little place to play and hide

out!  We had a great trip and the YURT was

a definite success and we will do it again!
