We had been making plans for over a month to go golfing this past weekend. We planned to go down to St. George but because of the long drive and prices of places to stay, we decided to go to Twin Falls. Guess it was a good thing that we changed our plans. St. George was cold and wintry. But Twin Falls was just plain C-O-L-D! Didn't get much above 31 degrees all weekend. We went down to the golf course by the Snake River thinking that we still might try 9 holes. The wind was blowing and anyone and everyone that was out on the course was wearing winter gear -- gloves, stocking hats and winter coats. We had only brought jackets with us! So we "wimped" out.
A waterfall on the side of the canyon by the golf course. Yes, those are icicles hanging from the canyon wall!!!
So we spent the weekend in good company! Brad and Tyler had joined us for the weekend. We didn't let the cold keep us from having a good time, though. We relaxed, played cards, did some shopping, played games and spent time in Jackpot. Good thing we brought our iPods, books, and had the Olympics to watch. (By the way, Grandad bought a new iPod on the trip! We got him signed up on Facebook so he could play some of the games found there that he can challenge the rest of us to. Just so you know ... he is practicing up!! Beware!!)

Who's the "older couple"?
Tyler is always the "lucky" one in the group!
Mealtime is ONE of their favorite times!
We had a good time even if we didn't get to golf! And as usual, the weekend passed way too quickly. Thanks, guys, for joining us for a "no pressures" weekend!!
Mike set up his workshop outside in front of Grandad's garage.
The finished product! Thanks, Phil for the blueprint!!
