A Weekend of Fun and Family!!

Its back again, the Cache Valley smog.......Several weeks of cold valley temps combined with the worst air in the country has started to wear on me, so Friday I skipped out on work and headed to higher ground in search of cleaner air and warmer days.... I loaded my ipod with some motivating tunes, grabbed some snowshoes and my snowboard and went in search of untouched powder. I rode the snowmobile into Worm Creek Basin, and started hiking. I took this picture (above) looking out over the Cache Valley and the gloomy fog.



At the top of South Canyon Pass I found clear blue skies and warm sun. It was a lot of work for one run of good snow, but it was worth it just to get out for the day.Friday night Grandma and Grandpa took Kayson for the night while Jess and I went night skiing at Beaver Mountain. It was a clear moon lit night and we had a good time........We forgot the camera so no pictures, but this experience leads us into our Saturday family time. Saturday morning Jess and I went to pick up Kayson at the farm in Station Creek, we spent the day sledding on Grandpa's tubing hill. Kayson didn't get to excited about the sledding, but he is into riding the snowmobiles.



Mom and Kayson getting warmed up to head out on a ride...............



Here is a classic picture of Kayson in his long john's after his big day of winter fun........




Fun was had by all and you can bet that we will be trying out Grandpa's hill again soon!

I love the looks of Cache Valley in the winter, but I don't miss the smog. Inversion is the worst. I am concerned that Kayson is being ruined by the grandparents. I'm quite certain that a few days with my dad would do my kids in. He is the one, after all, who introduced the girls to Coke.

Christina, a grandparent's job is to provide the little ones with whatever they desire in life. You should see the look of joy that comes over those angelic faces. It is a parent's job to fix the little dears when we send them home!

I agree with Wendy. As the saying goes, "Grandchildren are a parents' reward for not eating their young."

I love Kayson's long johns.
