Boise Trip

The December ended with a good trip to Boise even with the Southwest meltdown and California flood. Our flight to Boise survived, and we stayed there long enough for Southwest to recover. And our plane landed two hours after the storm stopped and the street cleared of flood.

Max is slowly working his way towards the next rank in scouting. This is one of the requirement for Cooking Merit Badge, the last one he needs to earn for the Life Rank.
As the Senior Patrol Leader (SPL) of the troop, Renee went to the district event to talk about her troop. She has grown a lot with this role. She call her new speech voice the "SPL voice".

Max has been in the band for many years. We finally decided to buy the saxophone instead of renting it since the beginning. He seems to enjoy it although it is hard to say that he is getting good at it.

Renee attended the dance competition with her dance class. She really enjoys it. So even though it takes a lot of time and it competes with other activities that she need to build up for college application, she has stayed with it.

We went to Boise to visit friends and ski.  The snow got better each time we went up there. We got more familiar with the area and went all over the places.

It was cloudy or snowing most of the time. We had a moment where the sun came out and presented awesome view of the city from the resort.

During the week, we took some break from the ski and visited local sites.

With the fancy espresso machine at our friend's place, Renee became the Brista of the week.
