Snow Vacation

For Christmas we got the kids a trip to Utah to play in the snow. We were suppose to leave the day after Christmas with some friends and stay in their family cabin near Brian Head. There happened to be such a BIG snow storm that we couldn't get into the cabin and the power lines were down. The kids were getting upset and we were all packed up so we went to Showlow to Frankie's grandma's cabin. When we arrived, no snow. It was perfect. We got groceries, chopped wood, the kids had a football game, rented a few movies. The next day the snow started. We had a blizzard!! It was a blast!
Playing in the snow

This was our car the first day it snowed. The snow didn't even start falling until about noon and it was only about 5 in this picture. CRAZY!
DUMB AND DUMBER???
It was so cold and windy when they went out to go sledding that Alexa came back with frozen eyelashes
You can't tell from the picture but when we were out playing in the snow the wind gusts would come so strong (around 40mph) that the kids would do anything to take cover
Beckom had a great time. He didn't like the first day that was so windy. He did love all the snow boots. He wore them all day!
Here are some of the Beck's with our kids. We had a great week. The men took the kids (all but the babies) skiing one day. The kids loved it. They didn't even complain that it was a -11 wind chill that day. We had 9 kids, 4 adults, great food, lots of red box movies, games, laughter, and a great time!
