~ Beautiful Snow ~

We made it home from Arizona just in time!
When we pulled into our driveway the snow started falling!

 
 Saturday morning the little kids were out in it!
 
It was so beautiful by Sunday morning!





 When the snow is this deep they like to make forts and tunnels! :D

More of Arizona

Annually for several years Brother Russell and his family have hosted a skiing trip to the White Mountains for many to enjoy.  So on Monday we began the 5 hour drive to have a wonderful time skiing/snowboarding with friends. After breakfast we had a few stops to make along the way...
 
 
 

Our first Stop was the TOP of Salt River Canyon. 

 

It was really pretty...
 

 
 We made it to the BOTTOM of the canyon by the river!

 It was David's first time to ski...

It was an enjoyable two days of skiing!
 





 Uriah and Benjamin were playmates back at the hotel.
 

 

After skiing we all met for supper and fellowship.
 


We celebrated Carols 14th birthday!
 
Thanks Dad for taking all the pictures on the slope.
