Sister Weekend in Idaho

12:36 PM

This past weekend Brooke, Melissa, & I visited Brittany & Matt in Rexburg, Idaho! The trip started out with Brooke & I driving up & meeting Melis in Las Vegas so we could all fly & arrive together. We stayed the night at the Rio & went to an italian restaurant at a mall along the strip for dinner.




At the restaurant, we ordered 2 dishes & an appetizer to share & one of the dishes, a chef's choice ravioli, came out totally cold. We told the waiter and brought us out a huge dessert plate to apologize. Then a manager came by and comped the meal so we ended up getting everything for like $20... the waiter did not seem to happy about that. For some reason poor Melissa has bad luck with waiters and every time we go out to eat they are rude to her (Pink Panther.. haha!)



In the morning, we got on our early flight to Rexburg and arrived there around 10. It was so good to see Britt & so fun to see so much snow! We headed to Britt's house where we relaxed an then Matt made us some homeade potstickers that were the best I have ever had!!! We kept joking about him making more potstickers for every meal because we all loved them so much! Then we went shopping at a store with the cutest house decorations, a clothing store, and then headed back to Britt's to have dinner. We started watching a movie but all fell asleep within half an hour, must be a sister thing because we all do that!



The next day we went skiing at Targhee & had such a fun time!!! We started out on the easier hill and then went to the top of the mountain! I was pretty scared because the lift kept going up higher and higher and seemed to take forever! We got to see a beautiful view from the top and skiing down was not as scary as I expected and really fun! It was nice because we were all at about the same level, except Britt who has skiied a lot! I fell the most times but they were all really soft falls. One time Brooke fell down & I was trying to go up and help her, my skis got all weird & my knee was twisting and I couldn't move it. She was still lying on the ground and had to put out a pull for me to hold onto and pull myself into a regular position, it was so funny! Meanwhile, rescue people just skied past us and went to help some little kids. Poor Melis had a fall at the end where she was trying to go in the powder and hit a rock or something and just went flying with her skis and poles going everywhere! We made up nicknames for each other, I was thunder thighs or trash bag (my ski bibs were extremely puffy and all black), brooke was criss-cross (she was trying to get on the ski lift and her skis crossed so they had to stop the lift, she told the worker, "I'm just an ordinary girl" and he didn't respond, haha!), brittany refused to have the nickname squirts and chose cocoa instead (hot chocolate problem), and I can't remember what Melissa's nickname was. We had so much fun skiing all day, taking a hot chocolate break, and then skiing until the lodge closed.







We went to Snake Bite for dinner, so good! We had a rude waitress (again, someone being rude when Melissa was there!). Britt had ordered a well done burger and it was totally pink. The waitress took it away and said they would need to make her a new one since that one was all "crumbled". I love being with my sisters because we are always just laughing and have so much fun together all the time!



The next day we rented cross-country skis and skied around on a golf course. It was so pretty! We wanted to go sledding, but didn't have snowshoes, so we realized we could wear the shoes that slip onto the cross-country skis while sledding. We stopped at Cafe Rio for lunch & just kept our weird ski shoes on (except Britt who changed into Uggs!) and this one family was looking at us so weird. We later realized that they may have thought we were a polygamist family! It was all 4 of us girl and Matt and we had the weird shoes on and all had braids! Haha!!!! After lunch we went sledding! We went to the dunes & found a perfect hill!!! We had an air mattress that we would all ride on together, it was so much fun!!! We stayed a few hours and had the whole hill to ourselves most of the time! Then we headed back and Britt & Matt made us lasagna with homeade noodles, sooo good!!!



Sunday Matt made us the best french toast for breakfast (it was hard to get back to having to cook and not having gourmet meals) and we played games and relaxed until church. We went to sacrament meeting and then Britt drove us to the airport. We got to sit all together on the back row of the plane and then split up to drive back to our homes.



It was SUCH a fun trip & we were laughing pretty much the entire time! I love my sisters so much & feel so blessed to have them. I love how great we all get along how we all love doing the same things & have the same exact sense of humor!
