I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas!! We had a great holiday here!!!!

The kids all got what they asked for from Santa. Kaylynn a new bunny named Dusty. Aspynn got an autographed pictured of her elf pen pal Hunter. Danner got a talking Transformer. It was a great day. We gave the kids Rockband so we have all been jammin' out!

Yesterday was the first day in weeks that there was no snow in the forcast. We took advantage of the nice weather and drove to Twin Falls ID. Dennis shot a huge buck this year, and we wanted to enter it in a big buck contest. The closest one we could find was in Twin. The sporting good store hosting the show is right on the Snake River Canyon. If you look close in the background you can see that launching ramp that Evil Kinevil used on his famous Wide World of Sports jump attempt.

On the way home we stopped in Hagerman ID. Home of the Idaho state fossil, the Hagerman Horse. We were able to peek in the window of the museum to see the fossil (it felt a little like seeing Mt. Rushmore). We then found some local sights, the Owsley Bridge and Park. This area is know for it geothermal pools. There are even alligator farms. We were able to see three mature alligators in a steaming pool next to a pile of snow. It looked very odd. We ended the day by suprising the kids with a trip to an indoor hot spring pool. It was a wonderful minivacation.
