Campout!

This last weekend, Dustin decided to go to a ranger station in Malad, Idaho. He decided Thursday night, and we went on Friday. We got there Friday night and hiked in to the cabin. It wasn't too bad of a hike. It was a gradual slope up for about half a mile. That's it. It took awhile to get a fire started, so we hung out most of the night in our warm clothes, but once we got things warmed up, it was a good time.


Macie and her Grandma Hansen.




This sleeping bag is known as "Big Bertha". You can't really tell, but the sleeping bag is bigger than a king size bed. It was so cozy and kept us warm.


Saturday morning, Dustin and I grabbed our snowshoes and went for a short little hike. It was such a gorgeous day. Dustin is trying to talk me into getting a snow machine with our tax return. Hmmm....with views like this? We'll see.




It was so much fun, but it was nice to get home and get Macie in the tub. She's so cute!


Macie is just getting bigger every day. She has two teeth now and stands all by herself. We are wondering if she said dog the other day, but I'm not sure. She is so tall, but still pretty skinny and petite. She's just growing so fast, so we are enjoying every minute of it!
