We found the snow!

On the first day of 2015 we headed north chasing the snow! We found plenty in Payson and spent a few happy hours playing in it.

 Dale was quite ingenious coming up with something we could use as a sled! It worked great! It was just a little difficult for a small girl to carry up the hill.

But we made it to the bottom! 

Dallin helped Maura blaze the first trail.

 Maura really loved playing in it, except when it got in her face.

 Just like being at a beach...except it's cold!

The snow was a little powdery for a gigantic snowman, but we did a great job of packing it and shaping it just right.  Dale was the master engineer on the job.

 It turned out just right!

We played a little snow racquetball and had some pretty amazing hits.

Lastly, a few giant icicles for the ride home.

What a great vacation and holiday we enjoyed.

We are settling into our new place and finding friends and feeling more comfortable every day.

Life is good. We are so blessed!
