Grand Targhee Family Reunion Was A Blast!














The 3rd Annual Wood Family Winter Reunion had a great turnout. It was so fun to see everyone! It's thrilling to have something to look forward to especially in January. We really needed to get away and unplug. Our children appreciated the break from school. With the great turnout we sure enjoyed the banquet rooms. We felt spoiled having the two bedrooms and no stairs to hike to the fourth floor as in previous years. Thanks for the idea Alan. Amy thanks for all your planning. Monday morning the kids were not excited to go back to school.


















Lots of powder and bluebird skies. We couldn't ask for anything more. Except for maybe stronger legs!


















Whitney and Kristin were privileged to snowboard with the guys. this year. They were pretty awesome to watch. Brian, Jon, Dave, Austin, Stefan, Ryan, Rick, Spencer, and Preston. I was thrilled to see them do their front flips, 180's and 360's. You guys are amazing. We were envious at your abilities but thanks for letting us try and keep up with you.


















Rick's favorite run was The Good through the trees.


















Kristin loved going off Lost Groomers Trail through Waterfall. The natural pipe was a lot of fun to try.



















I wish so bad that I would have had the video camera to get Spencer doing his front flip off the cornice it was so big. Spencer you rock!























Brinley started snowboarding last year and is doing really well this year. Brinley and Brielle had fun tubing and playing in the snow and swimming and hanging out with cousins.

















The best place to be at the end of the day. Soaking the tired legs. It looks a little deserted today with no one in it compared to Friday night when they wanted to kick some of us out because there were too many people in it.


















These pictures were taken last year. Ryan and Brian you guys are so cool!























Alan and Brianna


















Whitney, Jacob and Brinley up in the loft.


















Our favorite night time snow activity. Brinley, Brielle and Wendy tubing. We love you Wendy! The fox was so cute to watch during tubing he wasn't even afraid of people. The real wildlife to watch though was Craig and his crazy fart machine and pranks.


















Brielle and Kara


















CJ and Jackie. We missed you this year Jackie. I hope we will see you this summer.


















Dave, Amy and Lynda


















Alan and Rick lighting Spencer's Birthday cake. Spencer has celebrated his birthday the last three years at Targhee. He wouldn't have it any other way. We love our family and we love snowboarding I think we had a taste of what heaven will be like! We hope to see you all next year. We're already making plans and anticipating the fun.

Just visited your blog for the first time. I love your pictures! Thanks for commenting on our blog...it was how I found yours! Let's make 2009 the year of the Finch/Wood get-together! Jon is making me take over the blog which means it probably won't ever get done. My sis had to help me change the background and put the one photo (stolen!) on. Wish me luck. Jon does a better job...he's a more clever writer!

Love you guys!
