sNow, snow, Snow!!!!

This was such a fun LAST minute trip. We really wanted to have the kids be able to SEE snow and play it in this winter for their first time, but it was hard to make that decision since Vancey is still so little. We always make it a point to never go back on our word with things we tell the kids, so we did'nt tell the kids we were going to the snow until like 1 hour before we left. They were so exCited. We just threw together lots of warm clothes...whatever we had and just said we will make do with what we had.

We drove right outside of Payson. On our way through Payson, we were getting worried because we didn't see any snow on the sides of the streets, but 20 minutes past Payson the snow appeared. Madison went crazy!! She, Davin and Blane were screaming SNOW, SNOW, SNOW! Madison kept wanting us to pull over before we got to our destination. She was so worried that it would disappear if we drove further.What a perfect sunny day to hang in the snow. The kids had a lot of fun. Davin kept walking off by himself to find the perfect area to make snow angels, Blane enjoyed eating the snow and riding the the lil' hills, Madison really liked riding the hills as well, but she didn't like slipping on the trek back up the hill. Vance just screamed when the chill of the wind hit his face. He ended up sleeping through the majority of the time outside snuggled in his Mom, his Dad and his Aunt Nell's arms.

We stopped for some pizza in Payson to end the day. We ended up getting our pizza for free because the people took FOREVER to bring our food. On the drive back home in the car, some how we started telling the kids stories about our memories of our childhood. This was fun to watch their little faces as we told them funny incidents about us. They loved this! Davin liked his Dad's stories better than his Mom's stories. Dason was a crAzy kid what more can I say!
