Last week we took a quick family trip to Utah to find some snow. Scott took the kids skiing and I sat in the lodge and read a book. And took pictures and video.
I shot this video with the 8mm Vintage Camera app on my iphone.
It started out cloudy with light snow, but ended up being a gorgeous day!
Anna spent the day in ski school and did great. It was a cold cold day so she appreciated all 3 trips inside for hot chocolate and crackers.
Before the day of skiing began the boys studied the maps. Conner smiled and said, "I want to go on the black!" Payton firmly protested, "No! We're staying on the green ones!"
When the day was done we packed ourselves into the van and not 5 minutes later I turned around to see this
Wiped out!
During our trip we were also able to squeeze in a BYU basketball game at the Marriott Center, dinner at Brick Oven with Mason, Chinese take-out at Randy & Kate's apartment (and petting their kitty Toby, but not Millie), and a crepes brunch with Kent & Becca & cousins on our way out of town. Thanks to everyone for making time for us!

Thinking about snow . . . . I've sat around for the past little while browsing through old blog posts about our snow days in Oregon. Good times. I sure loved those days when we could cozy up in the house with nowhere to go, send the kids in and out to the snow, drink hot chocolate, and lay by the heater vents to warmup.
Snow day 2008 and a fun video in slow motion and one more post -- it was Snowmaggedon this year (at least by Portland standards)
