My sister and her family have been to the snow twice and we weren't able to go either time and Rory was starting to feel a little left out so we had to plan a snow trip of our own. It felt like a trip just trying to get everything together to go to the snow... I had to scour 5 different stores to find snow clothes for my kiddos, then go to my parents house to get gear for Mike and then to my sister's house to get boots and sleds! Once we got it all together Mike's sister, Cindy and her husband Doug, were kind enough to invite us (or let us invite ourselves) up to Doug's grandparents home in Heber area. We left Friday night after work and came back Saturday night, it was quick but we enjoyed it! 
We had hoped that there would be enough snow just to walk out the door and play but it was pretty patchy there, not that it stopped Rory and Paige from playing in it anyway. We did end up driving back up the road to Forest Lakes but there was plenty of snow there in fact so much so that we kept crunching though up to our knees and higher! 
Our hill wasn't to big but it was enough and we all had a turn going down. Rory even went by herself a few times. 
Paige went with mom and dad but mostly she just wanted to walk around and eat the snow. 
Plus she had her uncle Kevin there to pull her around on the sled whenever she wanted so the hill wasn't that big of a deal I guess. 
I was so glad my girls did so well and had so much fun they didn't complain at all about being cold and best of all when we drove home that night the slept the whole way and then got out of the car and went to bed, that makes for a nice easy trip! Thanks Doug & Cindy, we love you SNOW much!
