Good Times - First Time

For Christmas I gave Winston a gift certificate to go snowmobiling - good for 2 hours on a Saturday morning some time this winter. This last week he decided to cash it in. So, early in the week I made reservations for four (we went with our friends Paul and Alysa) - hoping we would have some good weather.

The weather was perfect this past weekend. There's still snow on the ground, but it was one of those super sunny wintery weekends. I had to attend a Stake Women's Conference Saturday morning - so we left for the mountains right after. Our reservations were for 2:30 PM and we wanted to arrive with time to spare. We all got dressed and checked-in with our guide, Angus! I know, I know, I had to ask him twice what his name was. :)

He taught us how to run the snowmobiles and then they gave us about 10 minutes to run around the practice track.

Winston and Paul were crazy on the machines! It was all we could do to keep up with them. We had a couple girls from Alabama in our group and when we stopped at the "1/2 way" place they complained to our guide that they felt like they were being left out because we were going so fast. Winston and Paul responded - "the gas pedal is on the right!" Our guide pretended to slow down for them, but he really didn't! I think they were bugged with us, but we had a great time.


This picture was taken at the Continental Divide where we stopped for a short break.

Me and Winston in our gear!

Us with the Claverie's!

Afterwards we went into the town of Breckenridge and had a nice dinner at a pretty good Mexican restaurant. We were all exhausted!
