Trip to the Snow

On Wednesday, we headed up to Payson with some friends. Rachel's family has a little cabin up there, and with it only being about and hour and a half away, it was the perfect little trip.

We were worried that there wouldn't be very much snow; there wasn't too much snow around on the drive up. But about five minutes before we were to the cabin, we started to see more. The kids were so excited!

They played out in the snow on and off all day. The best part of all was that we could just put them in dry clothes and throw their wet clothes in the dryer for a while. We did this over and over, since they went out and played a bunch of different times. I remember hating trips to the snow as a girl, but I now know it was because we didn't have snow clothes and I would get soaked and be freezing for the rest of the day. Not fun! The dryer was really helpful.

When they wanted to come in and get warm, they could sit by the little wood-burning stove. It was great!We ate some of this yummy soup Rachel made...

Sat and chatted...

And just let the kids wander and play. The property is all fenced, so they got to just roam.

Later, the kids watched a movie while they got warm.

Then it was back home! The bigger kids fought and bugged each other the whole way home, but the younger ones were a dream!
