To celebrate the completion of the radiation, we took a weekend trip to Sun Valley.  Andrew and Taylor were very excited to go!  It was a winter wonderland up there, and we enjoyed the beautiful snow, hotel, and warm pool!  The kids were given permission to get anything they wanted from the candy store, and what do you know. . . Taylor got a sucker and Andrew sour candy spray.  I had to beg them to get more!  Crazy children!  We enjoyed the cold weather in the outside heated pool, while fighting over the only toy available, a plastic cup.  Our wonderful friend Amy took us to a restaurant were we tried escargot for the first time.  Andrew liked it and said it reminded him of Indian food.  After 5 minutes of toying with it, Taylor got the courage up and tried it herself, she said she liked the sauce but could have done without the snail.  The favorite activity of the weekend trip was bowling in the hotel.  Both kids did very well with those bumpers!  Andrew loved keeping the score for everyone.  We also fed the swans and ducks, while freezing ourselves in the process.  Sunday morning Andrew woke up ready to go tubing, but shortly after he felt nauseous and we decided that maybe we had enough fun on Saturday and that we should take it easy today.  He agreed, and we came back to Boise.  We are happy to be home, and also very happy to have had such a great time with our weekend get-a-way.
