Brent and I took Daniel, Heather and Danielle up north past Strawberry, AZ to find some snow. Well, we weren't the only ones out looking for it. The roads were extremely busy and it was very difficult to find anywhere to park. Anyway, we pulled of onto what is a picturesque side road in the summer months but with the snow the road had turned into a deep snow pit. We couldn't go very far down the road as there were a couple of cars stuck ahead of us. Brent and Daniel got out our shovels and went to help, but the other driver wasn't much up to listening to any advice (like let some air out of your tires!) and so after half an hour or so of digging, they decided to head back and join us.
The snow was a couple of feet deep and we had fun just walking in it and throwing the occasional snowball. I threw a great one which landed on Brent's ear, but he knows better than to return the favor! There were people on four wheelers and snowmobiles and in other places we saw tons of kids sledding. I wasn't sure if I'd like it or not as I hate the cold, but I LOVED it. The weather was bright and sunny and it wasn't really cold at all.
We have all decided we want to go back again soon and maybe next year, we could rent a cabin over the weekend. Of course, it would be better still if Olivia and her family could join us, and hopefully next winter they will!
