Snow, Snow. Snow, Snow!!!!!!

Our quick trip to Utah was bitter sweet. We were sad to have to say good-bye to Grandpa Lee, but we couldn't have been happier to see and experience snow again. My boys were in heaven. It literally took everything I could do to get them in from outside. It was COLD, but we didn't care. We stayed above the yucky inversion in Utah and had a BLAST!

My sister took us over to her family ranch one day for sledding. We used the 4-wheeler to pull us up the road and then rode the sleds down. We really got going fast. Joshua had a lot of crashes, but we had a great time! Isn't my Medusa hat stylish?

My Sister Jessica and her husband Cory took the boys to Utah Lake to see the ice. They had a great time walking out on it and checking out all the holes left by fisherman.

Nathan got quality time with Uncle Eric. He coached him in shooting the rifle and pistol. Katie even took a turn. Nathan decided he was thirsty and tried to get a drink from the spring...not such a good idea, he ended up getting wet and this ended his shooting adventure.

We spent an afternoon at my sister Jessica's house. We went snow mobiling, did some more sledding, and built snow forts.


Thanks to my family for making our yearly "snow" vacation wonderful...and now we are back in Louisiana were it was 70 today!

SO FUN! I want to play in the snow...but it's...uh...too COLD! I keep trying to convince Riley to pull us around the yard with the lawn mower pulling sleds. He doesn't think it's such a great idea!

Glad you had fun with your fam! Too short a visit, though. They are probably all in withdrawals!

It looks like a fun trip! Even here in Colorado the snow is gone within a day. It doesn't pile up like it does in Utah (at least not around where I live). What's the point of snow if it doesn't pile up for snowmen and sledding?

I'm glad you missed the inversion. It was SOOOOOOOOO nasty and stuck around forever. Somehow I forgot about that part of Utah...
