We have had such a great weekend! It was crazy to prepare for--and try to make it to everything on time!--but so worth it now, looking back. Hooray for good friends and fun!
We started on Thursday morning. We had reservations at East Fork Yurt in the Unitah yurt system and thankfully my parents were willing to watch our kiddos. We dropped Katelyn off at school, finished packing, dropped the boys off at my Moms and then headed out on our date!
Our dear friends from Texas, Andrew and Elena, picked us up. We ran a few errands, ate a yummy lunch, and were off for the Unitahs!
The yurt we reserved was 1 1/2 miles away from the parking lot, on beautiful groomed trails. It was so pretty! Mike and I (or rather, Mike) pulled a sled with our gear, Andrew and Elena backpacked. The snow was deep, bright, and lovely. I enjoyed conversation and nature with some of my favorite people. What a treat!
The Boys--see, Y and U CAN be friends!
The Ladies.
We got to our Yurt in good time. The bathroom makes me giggle! It took a couple hours to get the fire REALLY going, but once it was, we were toasty, roasty. Although the beds were hard, I wasn't cold at all sleeping at night! We ate yummy food and played games long into the night. We enjoyed exploring and snowshoeing the next morning, and headed back to the car much too soon. We all agreed that next time we need to go for two days, and we could go to one of the further yurts too. It was SO pretty!

Maybe it's because I am still on my first kid, but I am so impressed that you make time for your husband. I love that you get out and get away from the kids. I hope to do that too. Glad you had such a great time!
