Cabin + Snow = LOTS OF FUN

Last Tuesday (12/28) we drove up to the cabin near Happy Jack, AZ, in anticipation of the big forecasted snowstorm.

Right after we got there the kids had to warm up by the fire.  We just aren't use to this winter weather.

The snowstorm did not disappoint over the next two days it snowed and snowed and snowed.

Rusty loved the snow.  He spent most of the time outside playing in the white stuff.  Every now and again he would come inside to see what we were doing (or to see if we were eating anything good), but he basically stayed outside the whole time.

Austin:  "It is okay to eat snow as long as it is not yellow."

Sarah wasn't so sure about all the white stuff, but she ventured out a couple of times.

We decided to leave Thursday morning (rather than afternoon) because it was snowing pretty hard and building up fast.  We were worried we wouldn't be able to get out if we waited for the afternoon.

We had to wait for about 30 minutes while they cleared the road.  A semi had slide and blocked the road and there was also a snowplow stuck (not sure how that happened). 

We were grateful we had 4-wheel drive for this trip.
