Blizzard

We survived the blizzard of 2010!  Personally, I think the media over hyped the event, but we did get quite a bit of snow.  Also, we have fortunately been safe traveling in it.  Beaver Mountain opens this week, it's beautiful outside, and it feels like the holidays!  What could be better??

Check out how this cornice formed on the hot tub:

The back porch stairs:

Look at the wreath!  The snow plastered the front of the house and we couldn't see out of any of the windows:

The front yard:

Clint was happy!

Look how much snow is on top of our bird feeder!

It is gorgeous out there today!  We love the snow!!

A Weekend Getaway

A wedding at Zion Park provided Wes and me with an opportunity for a quick weekend getaway.  It was a lot of driving for a little time in Southern Utah, but it was fun to be together for a couple of days.  We hiked along the Northgate Peaks Trail on the Kolob Plateau on Saturday morning:

This is how chilly it was that morning:

It was a sandy trail and we saw a little snow along the way:

Of course the views were incredible!

That afternoon and evening we attended the beautiful wedding of Tom and Michelle Nelson.  Tom works with Wes.  Tom and Michelle are both geologists who met at USU.  They fell in love on an adventure at Zion Park so it was only fitting that they began their married lives here.  Congratulations!

We had a little weather on the drive home, but we saw the most snow when we pulled in to our driveway!  We're glad we made it home before it really started to come down.
