The Great Outdoors

After two weeks of being stuck inside I told Landon today that I had to get out. Since almost everyone that we know is sick, we decided to go for a ride. We headed up Strawberry Canyon over to Bear Lake and then home through Logan Canyon. It was sunny and beautiful. At the top near Beaver Mountain Ski Resort it was about 47 degrees. The kids also must have needed an out because they also had a good time. It has been a beautiful winter. I have enjoyed watching the last few weeks from my window, we have gotten over two feet of snow. It is great to turn up the heat and watch it fall as long as I don't have to drive in it. The kids have loved the snow, I wish I was able to take them out more.

This was the view from out back door last night

And from the front door

These pictures were taken about a month ago, it was another one of those days were I just had to get out, but we had so much fun

Oh I am so jealous. Yes it is really nice here, but I miss the snow at least for a couple of days...and you have every right to be proud of your snowman, I was quite impressed. The shots out of your doors are beautiful...ahhh, cold outdoors and warm indoors...wonder what that is like. Love you all.
