the cabin update!

Well, Saturday morning dawned bright and early. Thomas and I were both up at the crack of dawn and couldn't go back to sleep. So, we went ahead and packed and waited until it was time to leave for the cabin. We called Chrissy, who called her dad, who said that when he left the cabin that morning about 9am, there wasn't any snow at all, maybe just a light dusting between the trees. He didn't think that we were supposed to get much snow at all, just a light flurry. Well, Thomas and I watched the weather report that was calling for a winter storm warning and 10-20 inches of snow in the ski areas. So, we went ahead and packed all the winter clothes we had for Hannah and Ainsley. Then we started driving up to the cabin. We stopped at the WalMart in Park City to get gloves for Hannah & I because it was starting to snow so much and there was already over three inches on the ground there. By the time we got to the cabin, there was about three inches of snow there and it kept coming down. We probably had about five inches. It snowed on and off the entire time we were there. It was really nice to sit by the warm fire and watch the snow outside. My husband is a bit of a pyro, though. He kept building these huge hot fires! He had the living room up to 85 degrees at one point. A little too warm! But it was a pretty good weekend. All of the kids were a bit hyper, but I think it was because of the snow. They were cooped up a lot because it was too cold to run around outside and play. I can't wait for next month!
