Family Fun

Last weekend we were able to spend the last weekend in Parowan with my family - and all of us were there. It's still a little weird to me that we are all grown up and it takes concerted effort to get us all home at the same time. One thing on the top of the agenda was to take family pictures - now that Andre is a permanent addition. We drove up through Brian Head and over to Cedar Breaks to do so, making various stops along the way. It was surprisingly warm and everything was blanketed in a foot or two of snow. 

Ameya learned very quickly that she is not too fond of snow as deep as she is tall, although she did seem to enjoy it in the beginning.


I honestly don't know if I had ever seen a snowy Cedar Breaks before - it's quite striking.


Much to Brittani's dismay, all of the boys walked out to the very edge causing her a little newlywed panic. As a side note, Hunter slipped in the mud when he first started (making a mess of his belt, pants, jacket, and gloves) which caused me to panic a little as well.


More snowy baby dog...


She was definitely over it by this point.


Of course Kenny had to take advantage of this awesome tree chair.


Then for the individual(ish) pictures...

a whole lotta hype

Last night was supposed to be the biggest snowstorm/blizzard we have seen in Utah for a long time. People started panicking and so many places closed early. Almost every clinic in the hospital shut down between 3 and 4 pm. Even the Instacare closed at 5. People left early from work and prepared for hibernation from the storm. I expected some grand showing of snow, and was even excited for such.

Wrong. Wrong. Wrong.

We got way more snow over the weekend. Yes, it is cold, but last time I checked that is what happens during winter. Come on people, we live in UTAH. We should be used to the fact that it snows and sometimes we have to drive on crappy roads. I guess it's better to be safe than sorry, but this storm ended up being nothing but a whole lot of hype.
