"We went for two months thinking that the kids' schools would be reopened in California, and they weren't.
And, so, they were doing online, and the schools there were open.
And, so, we were able to put our 6-year-old daughter in kindergarten for the spring semester," Larter recalled.
Larter explained that the family quickly built local connections through the school and shared outdoor activities like skiing.
"And that was a huge thing for us because we just wanted her to be around other children and have that kindergarten experience.
And during that time, we met some amazing families just organically by the school," she said.

Larter noted that Hollywood obligations—auditions, charity events, industry parties—conflicted with their personal goals. "We just didn't want to do that.
We wanna be with our children," she stated.
Despite maintaining an emotional connection to Los Angeles, the couple fully committed to Idaho. "Let's try this and see if it works," Larter said.
