Happy Valentine's Day!

Now that our surroundings are a little more interesting, we're back to a family tradition that dates back to our time in Las Vegas, but especially Colorado, the road trip. Brad and I both love to hop in the car and go, just for the day, so that's what we did today. After dinner we did a little Valentine's Day celebration. Here is our day in pictures:

We drove down Turnagain Arm. There are things to see on both sides of the road. Ice falls with occasional ice climbers:

After dinner, the kids ate their Valentine treats from Grandma and Grandpa Phelps.

Mmmm... Marshmallows on a stick!

Then, we made Valentine's cookies! The heat from the oven kills germs, right? Please tell me I'm right.
