Snow Days

What an awesome weekend we had! Both of my sisters and their families, my brother and my dad went with us to Show Low to hang out in the snow. We had planned to go from Friday to Saturday but we were having so much fun that we decided to stay through Sunday. The kids had so much fun playing in the snow outside the hotel and we went to Sunrise to played on the hill there too. On Sunday we woke up to the most beautiful snow covering all the cars and ground. We woke up the kids and they were so excited to see the snow coming down. Most of the kids have never seen a snow storm. Since there was so much snow we went to a hill in town and to play for a while before we headed home. As we played we could see the storm getting worse. I drove Sabrina and all the girls and Jimmy drove Chris and all the boys. I have never driven through snow before and I was scared to death!!! We had CB radios so that we could talk to each other and Jimmy could help guide me through. As we drove home it never stopped snowing until we left Payson. We saw people flip there SUV, people stuck on the side and a semi truck on the side putting chains on. It was such a pretty drive but scary too. We could barely see in front of us and my wind shield wipers froze. We had to have to defrost on high to try on melt the snow off the windshield and the windows open so we didn't die of heat exhaustion. Needless to say we made it home after 6 hours. Here are some pictures from our weekend.

Kayla flipped off her tube the 1st time down and hurt her hip.Just before we left
she felt okay to get up and throw a few snowballs.
