Let it Snow!!!

When we left to Utah for Christmas, we still had not received enough snow in Salmon to cover the ground. The boys were going crazy being stuck inside during the beginning of Christmas Break, due to the freezing temperatures and the lack of snow. But that all changed when we went to Utah, because we arrived to several feet of the white stuff!!! The boys couldn't contain their excitement!
On Christmas Eve, we went to Logan to go sledding with some of my siblings and nieces. The boys and girls and adults all had so much fun together! It was the perfect activity!!! The park we went to has a large bowl with short and medium-sized hills, and a giant hill that was really slick. We started out on a shorter hill until everyone was ready to go to the giant one. But after several of us crashed into trees at the bottom of the giant hill, we ended with sliding down a medium hill.
A kids' playground is situated in the center of the park between the giant hill and the bowl. Kanyon loved playing there with his cousin Abbie after he tired of sledding.Afterwards, we all went out to eat at a local pizzeria. Going sledding with everyone was at the top of my boys' favorite activities during Christmas Break. I'm grateful for the opportunity to spend time with family, for the gift of snow at Christmas, and for the lasting memories that were made on this day!
