all bundled up

We've been trying to get to the cabin for months now but the weather never cooperates. It finally did this weekend and we were able to spend the weekend all bundled up in the snow. I love to V I S I T the snow and freezing cold.

We met my parents up there on Friday afternoon. Sam joined us for the road trip which means you're always in for a good time. We even got to stop and eat at The Pizza Factory in St. George. One of the many "Utah foods" that I miss.



Saturday was really fun. The mountains are b e a u t i f u l all covered in snow - I found myself just staring out the windows a lot. It was quite the change of scenery from this desert we live in. We managed to watch the majority of conference in between a few adventures outside . . .



I thought FOR SURE Nate would love the snow. He's Mr. Adventurous so the thought never occured to me that he'd be terrified of it. {He liked playing in it when it snowed in Vegas a few months ago}. But, I thought wrong. He hated it. Something about our big, black sled scared him to death which made him scared of the snow, too. He was even scared while driving in the car on snow. He covered his eyes the entire time. He liked being outside as long as the sled was no-where to be seen. He loved having his hat, boots & gloves on!









My mom took Nate inside and he kept saying mama so I went in with them while Sam, Wes & my dad went sledding. They ended up near the meadow, sledding down a big road covered in snow. It started with Wes and Sam each going alone. Then Wes and Sam went together. And then they decided to come get me at the cabin so we could try all three of us going at once. Poor Wes had ALOT of weight on him! But I have to say it was awesome.







Here's a video of all three of us . . . Wes laid down on the bottom, then Sam, and then me.



I've been wanting to play in the snow all winter and I finally got my chance. It was so nice to be up there for a little break. Five adults to one toddler is a great ratio!
