Aunt Amy (well, almost Aunt Amy...12 more days till it's official!) and Uncle Ross were generous enough to watch little Delaney. We figured she wouldn't really enjoy the snow that much and it gave us time to focus on the older two. I know Delaney had a much better day being the center of attention anyway!
We left around 8:30 to drive up to Forest Lakes, just north of Payson. We began seeing snow once we hit Payson and the kids kept asking, "Is this the spot we can get out at?" We knew right where we were going though...right where Christian's parents park their fifth wheel.
The snow was SO deep. The kids had a lot of trouble walking in it so we kept following Daddy's footprints. It was very powdery, so unfortunately we couldn't build a snowman, but it was fun to throw snow at each other.
That was definitely Camden's favorite part of the trip. He would find little snowballs already formed and just throw them to watch them break apart. He would have spent the rest of the day doing this if we had let him!
Makenna made snowangels.
She was super excited to bring Alaska (her doll) to the snow. She was home!
At one point Christian decided to shove me into a huge snowbank of what he "thought" was powdery snow, as I flew back it felt like my head hit a huge rock! I was a little disoriented for just a second until I began to investigate what my head hit. Christian thought I was just being a baby until he discovered my head smacked right into an ice block! Solid ice! My head hurt for a little while, but I was pretty lucky considering!
We decided to take a break and eat lunch. We then went sledding at a pretty big hill which the kids weren't too keen on. We then went back where we started and I created a small sledding hill off the large banks of snow on the sides. It was a perfect tiny little hill for the kids to sled by themselves. They loved it!
I thought it was a great Valentines Day! We did miss you though Laney!!!!
