"You will have significant experiences. I hope that you will write them down and keep a record of them, that you will read them from time to time and refresh your memory of those meaningful and significant things. Some may be funny. Some may be significant only to you. Some of them may be sacred and quietly beautiful. Some may build one upon another until they represent a lifetime of special experiences." ~Gordon B. Hinckley

Snow Day at the Cabin

Courtney REALLY wanted to get away to the Fischbeck Cabin this weekend, and I REALLY wanted to just stay home this weekend. Guess who got their way???? I am glad he did, cuz the kids had so much fun. We took the Globe route on our way up so we could stop at our newest hole in the wall---GUAYO'S. It definitely is a dive, but man alive their chips and salsa are THE BEST! As we were driving there, we had been talking to the kids about going to Rocky Point for Spring Break. As soon as we got seated in the restaurant, Delainee took a look around and not too quietly asks, "Are we in MEXICO?" Hopefully our waitress interpreted it as the authenticity of the food being spot on!

If we had gone for our snow day any later I think we would have been out of luck on finding ANY snow--as it was we had to head towards Sunrise before we found a patch worth sliding down. Because the sun was melting everything, the snow was actually perfect to just slide away without a sled or anything. The kids tried every angle possible.

on their stomach...

wow! perfect finish!

And Delainee proved to be quite the little dare devil by going down blind on her stomach!

This video happened to be the very first slide of the day.....
(pause the tunes so you can hear)
At our house everything is colors. And I don't know why we don't just call it soda, but root beer, and/or colas is called 'brown juice' at our house. Well, just as we were hiking our way up the snow we hear Laetner call out, "Hey look, brown juice!" He was sitting down on the snow and looking downward and I honestly figured he had just dug down in the snow until the snow met the mud and was calling it brown juice. Once we made it up to him she showed us that he had indeed found some brown juice.
Yes that is an un-opened bottle of Coors Light! Some classy individual must have buried it in the snow to get cold, and then couldn't remember where it was buried due to their drunken haze.

We had borrowed snow gear from Shelby---so glad we did. I don't think Waverly had any idea what it means to be cold.

It was pretty funny trying to get her to walk in all her winter apparel.


Thank you Court, for MAKING us go have some FUN!

What a fun trip! You take the best pictures. We have done snow trips the last 2 years and have had so much fun. My kids talk about them all the time. Your kids are looking so grown up - I can't believe it.:)

Julie,
I just saw your comment on Allison's blog and she is the same Allison - she totally knows you from MVH. We already made that connection a few years ago. She is in my ward.

Hi Julie...
Cute blog! I was just reading through some of your posts and realized that Ben and Laetner have the same bus drivers (Ms Donna and Ms Diane) they take Ben home from school in the afternoon...interesting!
