Winter Idaho Fun

On New Year's Day we went up to Franklin, ID to spend a little time with Grandpa and Grandma Haworth, and Mike and Misty Porter. It sure got cold up there, and the Kezele's (another of Nathan's Aunts and Uncles) came too while we were there. It always seems like someone comes while we visit. So we got to do some fun things, and Mike and Misty got us into rock climbing! Yep, second time we've gone while up there, and it is just getting better, looks like Nathan and I have a new sport! It was lots of fun, LOVE it up there. Good thing we like the snow too:)

We went sledding with the Kezele's and Tate

This is me learning how to belay, I did a good job, and good thing too because Nathan is up there!

We helped chop wood in the riverbottoms, not living up there we thought this was lots of fun, not a chore at all. There is Nathan headed to a dead tree with Lady

So much snow! Tate in the riverbottoms with Lady and Grandpa's Springer Spaniel, Mighty


We also got to watch the Sugar Bowl with Utah vs Alabama with Grandpa Haworth and the Kezele's. Grandpa is a HUGE Ute fan, and we found ourselves cheering for the Utes as they pummelled Alabama. It also sort of vindicated BYU's loss to Utah this year, they really are just that good. After every score Grandpa would get lots of phone calls, he was on cloud nine after they won. It was great for the Mountain West Conference as well, and hey, BYU still gets money for Utah going to a BCS bowl, so it turns out all right in the end:)

Rebekah and Tate, aka Elizabeth Swan and Captain Hook, during the Sugar Bowl, I guess they didn't like watching football as much as the rest of us so they found other ways of entertaining themselves:)

Looks like you had a fun Christmas and New Years! Isn't Grandpa's hill the absolute best for tubing?! I'll echo Branae and say it was fun to have you guys come and play games with us during the holidays. Are you still feeling good? Hope so!
