Double weekend post

First I need to post pictures of my narcissus paperwhite. These are from the 15th, it has grown a couple of inches since then and it has bloomed from another pod.
I think it looks pretty good.
These picts are from last weekend. I have been waiting for George to send me his photos before I post, still haven't gotten them! This was our last weekend with Harriet she went back home to England last Friday. So, last Saturday we headed up to the cabin and had lunch and then headed for Yellowstone. I thought George should have taken her on a snow coach tour of the park, I guess you can't do everything in one trip. We did see the Imax movie of Yellowstone, very different than I thought it would be. The girls were mesmerized and Kami just kept saying "wow"it was so cute! We then went to the grizzly bears/wolf discovery center, imagine my surprise to find out they have LIVE animals! However, we got there an hour before it closed and feeding time for the wolves, that is something for the girls to see, not! George and Harriet went in and saw some neat stuff, I of course had my camera in the CAR. Those are the picts I am waiting for. These are from the gift shop. The girls had a ball climbing up on the giant bear while we waited for Harriet and George.
We found some really neat stores and spent some time shopping before we headed back to the cabin. We had to get some huckleberry jam for Harriet to try. We found the neatest little furniture(?) store, my new favorite store. They had the cutest candles, lamps, sconces, and everything else all locally made. It was a perfect day and the roads were great. I was quite surprised by the lack of snow, there was only a couple of feet. On the way home Ky got called to a search, luckily just lost snowmobilers and not an avalanche. Sunday we went to my fam's house and had dinner and played board games all night. I will miss Harriet she was very nice. Also, Ash gave her very first primary talk all by herself. She was so excited. I think she did awesome! I am still in shock my baby girl is in Senior primary! A big thanks to everyone who acknowledged her achievement.

These pictures are from yesterday. We finally got some snow and got snowed in. Unfortunately, there was a wedding reception at the barn so Ky spent most of the day keeping the driveway clear. We did enjoy some fun time outside. We both got in on the action with the girls.
He did hit his sled on the way down!
Kami looks so cute in his helmet!
Now we are back to the regular schedule. Ash had a three day weekend and we enjoyed having her home and sleeping in!

It looks like you guys had lots of fun in the snow too! I love the pict of Kami in Ky's helmate... ha ha! I can't believe you guys went to Yellowstone. Well, the roads were good for you... I don't think I would have even tried.

So can you get into Yellowstone right now in a car or do you have to snowmobile in? I've ALWAYS wanted to go in the winter, but I've heard it's tricky!

We just went to the West Yellowstone town. You can't get into the park unless you are in a snow coach or snowmobile.
