Spring Break Trip to Utah

For spring break we went to Utah to visit Grandpa and Rose. We had a great time mostly just relaxing at their home and enjoying their company. The kids got to see their cousins, Cade and Kateland, and Aunt Amy. Our visit was such a big deal there was even an article published in the local paper about us coming to town! How funny is that? I don't have lots of pictures, but it was a very pleasant, relaxing, and refreshing trip.

This is Grandpa, Bly and the girls at Frisco Mine, Utah. These stone looking things behind them are "smelters", I think is what Grandpa said. It was so unbelievably cold and windy, Rose didn't want to get out of the car. If you click on the photo I think you can see how red the girls faces are from the cold.

The mine is a very interesting place to explore...if it's not so cold! They used these smelters to melt the silver they got from the mines. very interesting!

While we were at Grandpa's house it started to snow! Since we don't see a lot of snow in our desert home, the girls just had to go out and play in it...

Ramsay and Alisyn invented their own sort of hockey game with two of Grandpa's broom handles and a tin can. What amazes me is, this is something they could have probably done without snow but... somehow, snow seems to cast some sort of spell and suddenly the world becomes a magical playground.


On our way home we stopped at Lee's Ferry to see where the pioneers used to cross the Colorado River. Weren't our pioneer ancestors amazing!!!
