Barnetts and McCall

B hanging out with Uncle Josh and his new Iphone. Josh and Kristian came into town to check things out again, see how the housing market is, check out schools and Kristian meet with Doctors here to see if they could take care of her if they move here.

Josh had a long day passed out on the couch when we came back from the store.

At the end of the week we went to McCall Idaho to go to the Winter Festival. We rented a cabim with the Wheelers and Ispens. It was my first time to McCall, I was excited to go and have always wanted to go to the festival.

The festival is all about the ice sculptures throughout town. This one was the winner this year, outside a wood carvers shop.

Panning for cold even had a stream below him.

All those pictures were of the call of the wild sculpture pretty amazing, this was the second weekend of the festival so some of the ice had started melting but they were still so detailed.

Playing in town for lunch

The kids loved stomping in the water.

That evening to finish out the festival they had fireworks over the lake.

It was a pretty amazing show, lasted a while

Brooklyn liked checking out all the colors.

Playing with her new light saber that the Wheelers bought her.

Garrett and Brooklyn playing with there leaptops in the morning.

On the way home we took a detour and went to Tamarack to check it out.

It is a beautiful resort, hopefully they can get the financing figured out and keep it open so we can ski there one day.

Tired girls, it was a long weekend time to take a little nap.

We had a lot of fun taking turns with meals, playing games, playing in the snow, taking walks with our friends. It was a beautiful place, the cabin was perfect. We could not have asked for a more relaxing fun filled weekend away. Hopefully we will do it more often.
