Mini Vacation at Grand Targhee in Wyoming




We arrived at Grand Targhee Thursday around 6 p.m. After unpacking, we ate dinner and then went swimming and sat in the hot tub with our friends, the Holyoaks. These were outside and so if you were really brave, you could lay in the snow and then jump in the water to warm up. On Friday, Chloe and Chase took skiing/boarding lessons while the rest of us skied/boarded. After the lifts closed at 4 p.m. (for some odd reason, they don't do night skiing there), Chloe, Chase, Chad and I went tubing with Claire and Harrison. Then after dinner, Eric took the kids swimming again and when they returned, Chauntel and I went. Saturday we went skiing/boarding again but this time, we couldn't stay until closing because it was snowing so hard and we were just tired. So we quit a little after 2 p.m. and were on the road home by 3 p.m. Our room/suite at the lodge was so cool! It had an upstairs and a downstairs. The downstairs had a room with two sets of bunk beds and then there was the master bedroom. There was even a bed in the wall upstairs, which Chauntel quickly dubbed her's. I think the kids thought the t.v. was as much of a vacation as the skiing/boarding!
