February Mini Vacation

Chad's is so busy during March and April that he won't be able to take any time off. So the kids had Rodeo break and he took off Friday and we headed up to Flagstaff for a mini vacation in the snow! Apparently it was one of the biggest snowstorms in over 100 years. So a 4 hour trip turned into 6 and a half as we followed a snow plow for quite a ways. And we found out all the roads closed right when we made it to Flagstaff. Heavenly Father was definitely looking out for us! We woke up to 35 inches of snow!!

It was so deep William just had to crawl the whole time which he loved! We found a park close to the hotel to avoid getting stuck somewhere since it was supposed to snow all day. There wasn't really any hills at this park but we did find a little one to play on.

The kids thought all the Icicles were so cool.

While playing our neighbor sent me a text and our house got about 8 inches of snow! Guess we didn't have to drive all the way to Flagstaff.

The kids were worn out from playing so we headed back to the hotel and went swimming in their inside pool. It was fun swimming in the nice warm pool and watching the snow fall outside. The kids laughed and said we were enjoying both winter and summer this trip.

Then they were ready for some more snow fun!

The next day the snow stopped and it was nice and sunny. Perfect day for sledding! We headed to a larger park with a huge hill and wore ourselves out for hours. We had so much fun I didn't even think to take pictures. William loved sledding but climbing the hill was too much for him so Chad and I had to carry him up. And I finally convinced him to go play at the park while Chad and the other kids continued.

We headed back home and checked out some bakery's on the way. One in Flagstaff we were not impressed with but one in Phoenix called Urban Cookies that was super delicious!

Such a fun mini vacation!
