Idaho FUN!

We got Samuel up on the platform. And funny story, I managed to get up there with Carolyn's help from BEHIND!

IT really is as hard as that looks to do!

Over the Snake River

Jared, Dallin, Shawn

Hi all,
I have a super great husband! He told the family that one of his former YM from the Sunnybrook ward was coming home from his mission and that he wanted to go to the Homecoming at church! He asked us if we all wanted to go and that was a YEA! Justin did an amazing talk. Those are just the things to help remind my future missionaries what it's all about. Especially Dallin who is the closest.

And of course we always find lots of fun to go along with anything. Uncle Jared decided that trying to retrieve a basket 200 yards away over the Snake River would be an awesome thing to do! YEA! So Dallin, Shawn and Jared got on the rock gear and shimmied on the cable. That basket was really too far away to shimmy to it, so of course, they were thinking about a pulley to buy so they can get across. Meanwhile, we had a bit of an audience, so we were kinda of waiting for the sheriff to show up, they must have been fishing.

Hyrum says we must go skiing!

We Becks have become a Skiing family! Thanks to our Hyrum, who went skiing with the scouts. He and this troop went to Alta where you can ski for free! Man, I didn't even know about that! You can ride the tow rope free all day every day, then the Sunnyside & Albion chair lifts open from 3:00-4:30. We got in 3 runs! The tow rope was the perfect place to review some skills, and teach Samuel for the first time. Note to self, don't take a beginner up to the very top of the tow rope and hope he remembers that snowplow thing. Samuel had a very exciting 1st run down, followed by a crash. A nice gentleman suggested that we only take him half way. Well, long story short is Samuel is a quick study on skis, and by the 3rd run down, he could turn, stop, and ride the tow rope successfully! Wow, now my whole family can ski! All we need to do now is find some cheap equipment.
