We had to double buckle on the
way to Zarahemla with 7 of us in the cab of the truck. It is such a great blessing to have the truck
though in winter weather. The van would
not have made it up and through Z this year.
There was plenty of snow and it was beautiful! The first thing Rex and Lyle do when they
hear we are going in the truck is to declare, “I’m not double buckling!” Rex and I double buckled most of the way
there. He wasn’t happy about it. We stopped in Yakima because Spechts had
Hayden with them and we met Dax and Jen at Costco to return Hayden. While we were there, we picked up two more
sleds. We had bought some plastic sleds
but the ones at Costco were the foam ones which is what the boys were hoping
for. After Hayden hopped out of Specht’s
suburban, Hyrum joined them so we didn’t have to double buckle after that.
The kids hit the sleds immediately
and were sledding until way past dark.
Lyle and Jhett stayed out the longest and ran the battery almost all the
way down on the headlamp. Fun times.
Wednesday night we left the propane
fireplace going and none of us slept great because we were too hot. Lyle and I made the trek to the bathrooms at
2am. I just couldn’t do the port a potty
when it was 10 degrees. It was quiet and
beautiful.
Thursday, we woke up to 6-8
inches of new snow and big snowflakes coming down—it was quite magical. The boys were out in the new snow as soon as
they could get dressed and they were kicking up the powder and loving it. Dax and Jen came up that afternoon so the kids
could play. They brought up their puppy
too. Actually, it was against Z rules
but it was too late at that point. Super
cute (growing) puppy. Dax has been
putting a lot of time into training him.
He kind of looks like a miniature St. Bernard so it looked like it fit
right in up there in the snow.

Pretty impressive.
