Thankful for Handwarmers

This Thanksgiving I was very thankful for hand warmers. Here's why... My family decided this Thanksgiving we would spend it at Grand Targhee Ski Resort. Grand Targhee is located in a little town in Wyoming called Alta. We drove out on Wednesday and drove back Sunday. our hole was right off the ski run so we would literally walk out the front door, slap on our skis, and head for the lift.

The temperatures were freezing! If you weren't wearing hand warmers then your fingers would begin to hurt and eventually go numb. The first day was twelve degrees at the base of the mountain and five degrees at the top. It only got colder from there. The last day we skied was seven degrees at the base of the lift and negative two at the top. Luckily my dad let us take quite a few hot chocolate breaks to warm our faces. I loved spending time skiing with my family. It's one of my favorite things to do and I hope to teach me kids one day. Thanksgiving this year was  a lot of fun and hope we go again next year.
