Utah Snow

So we went up to Utah the week after Christmas and had a blast. It was a short trip but full of fun. Unfortunately we didn't get to see all of our family, and some of them we only saw for a few hours, but that's what so great about living close. We can always go back.

Part of the trip was spent visiting Grandma and Grandpa Swasey in the middle of No-where-ville. Cole LOVED Grandpa's "Sand stinger", as he calls it. Check out that mug.
Drew pulled the kids on a sled tied to the back of the 4-wheeler. You can just see the excitement in their faces.


And we also went sledding on a road by their house. Normally I'd be totally worried about that, but like I said, it's the middle of nowhere.

Part of the trip was spent visiting the Clark side of the family. We went sledding in Kaysville one evening and had a blast. Here's Uncle Brock pushing Mia and Reagan down the hill.

Here's our crazy train. Yup, we sled until it was too dark to see anymore.

After all the fun we headed back to Brock's for hot chocolate (Thanks Jill).

This was the first year Mia and Cole really played in snow. It brought back a lot of memories of when I used to play with my sisters in the snow. It brings out your creativity.

The kids also made a snowman that they named "Bush" (um, Okay?) at Grandpa Clark's house. Unfortunately I don't have a photo of it. The trip was so much fun. My kids learned a lot,... like that the word "donut" isn't just a food, but an activity... (an activity that Drew just couldn't seem to get enough of on the snow filled streets). We are so lucky to have such a great and loving family.
