This Spring Break, we actually had two vacations. The first half of our time off was spent relaxing at home. The weather was gorgeous--warm and sunny! The kids spent plenty of time riding bikes and playing outside with the neighbors. We deep-cleaned Jer's room, and we spent time just doing non-scheduled things. It was wonderful!
The second half of our vacation was spent at the cabin. We had heard there might be a little snow over the weekend, so I crossed my fingers tightly and packed sleds, boots, and gloves. We headed out on Thursday, and much to my chagrin, we reached a very dry, snow-free Panguitch by the end of the afternoon. I was so embarrassed driving through town with four brightly-colored snow sleds tied to the top of our family minivan. I felt like a fool. It was sunny and dryyyyyyy.
We continued on up the mountain. I decided it didn't really matter--we'd have a good time together no matter what the weather decided to do, and thank heaven for dry roads to travel! By dark, we had arrived, unpacked, and settled in.
Friday morning, we woke up to--could you guess?--beautiful falling snow. The storm had arrived, and it continued through all of Friday and into Saturday afternoon. It was quite warm, so there wasn't much accumulation Friday (though there had been 18 inches predicted!). Friday night cooled off, though, and by Saturday morning, there was almost a foot on our front stairs! We headed out and sledded most of the morning! The snow was "white, cold, and plenty of it!" After a winter of almost no snow at all, we finally got to do some serious snow play. It was fabulous! There was very little traffic in the neighborhood, and we sledded down our favorite street to our hearts' content! What a wonderful day.
By Sunday, the weather warmed, and, by the time we headed home, the main roads had dried. Can't say the same for the street in front of the cabin though. :)
