Like it. Love it. Try it.: Snow Day!

Rick came home from a very cold morning loading the big brown trucks, and said he was going to make Omelettes and wanted to take the kids to Pine Valley to play in the snow!

What a fun dad! We had breakfast and then I got them all in layers of clothes, then snow clothes, only to remind them all to go potty before we left, and ALL of them had to undress, go and then redress!

So we invited my Uncle to come, it is always good to have a more even adult to child ratio when going outdoors! We drove 2 Toyota 4 wheel drive trucks, which ended up being a blessing after Rick thought he was bigger than the snow and got STUCK! (I was dying laughing, but held my composure just long enough to take photos!)

My uncle insisted on taking a photo of Rix mishap and we all rubbed it in a little bit! Karma is a funny thing...on the way home as we drove over the icy roads towards home Rick saw in his rear view mirror the image of my uncles truck carrying myself, and 2 kids, fishtail slightly to the left, and then a correction caused a much larger fishtail to the right and finally the last correction caused his truck to spin completely around and faced the opposite direction landing us in the ditch. (For those of you who know my uncle it makes this even funnier...he is the slowest, most cautious, safe, over protective driver I have ever met! ) Rick wanted a side note that he did note JUMP out of the truck to photograph this mishap, rather he pulled over, turned on his flashers and made sure it was clear for us to get back on the road! Needless to say I screeched a little and was slightly terrified! Of course this all happened in the 5 ft. area where there was NO protection from the mountain drop off on the side :) Guess I should say an extra prayer of thanks tonight!

We took up sleds and extra gloves! Hunter could not stand on his own his layers of clothes were SO heavy! Therefore, he was grumpy a lot of the time!
