Visit to Coeur d'Alene December 26 - 29

We went to visit Grandpa Bob and the Wyndams after Christmas for 3 days.  We didn't realize it, but we got to enjoy snow!  Decker is out in the backyard in his Spiderman costume.  When I asked him to put his coat on, he said he wouldn't be cold, because he was Spiderman!
 They spent a lot of time on Lincoln's top bunk.  They could watch movies up here.  They spent a lot of time in their costumes.  Lincoln was Captain America, Decker was Spiderman, Cody has his Avengers pajamas in this picture, and Trev was a Power Ranger.  Awesome!
 

 
 The eagles were congregating at Lake Coeur d'Alene by the Wolf Lodge.  So we went to check them out.  We saw quite a few, flying, nesting and hanging out in the trees.  There were some local State Park employees set up there to answer questions and protect the eagles.  They even had telescopes set up to watch the Eagles in the trees.


 The boys loved picking up snow and throwing it over the guard rail into the lake.  This made both Keila and me nervous and stayed real close to them.  Decker loves his new "fire" gloves Keppi gave him.
 






 We then decided to go sledding.  I didn't bring snow gear with us...(I didn't check the weather report)  Grandpa Bob took me under his wing and SET ME UP!  :)  I had handwarmers in these nice mittens, toe warmers and extra socks all covered by Sorrels boots and some snow pants.  I didn't feel any cold.  It was awesome!!
We took the boys sledding.  They loved it.  Cody loved running on the snow and sliding to a fall.  It didn't scare him at all.  Cody wasn't the only one who fell...Daddy took one too.

 Decker and Lincoln shared the responsibility of walking their sled back up the mountain after each run.
 
 Ben and Trev went down and as Ben dragged his feet in the snow, kicked all this snow up into Trev and Ben's face...the video is pretty hillarious!

 

 
 Me and all the boys...I even went down a few times.


 Daddy did too...




  Making snow Angels...

 The Woods and the Wyndams...
 Exhausted little boys after our full day of fun!
 We then went downtown with Grandpa Bob.  This is Mudgy the Moose.  He lives in Coeur d'Alene.  If you look closely at his antler, you will see Millie the Mouse.
 This is Lake Couer d'Alene all lit up at night.

 

 See the fisherman in this lighted scene?

 Once there was a snowman...snowman....snowman...
 



 This was a decorated window downtown.  Funny thing, the artist's signature in the bottom says, "Crystal Clear".  (James' company name)



It was a fun and fast filled 3 days!!  Thank you so much for your hospitality and good times!!!
