Ice Castles...

I decided to take my family (Skyler was busy) to see the Ice Castles up in the city I would love to live in...Midway. I know now that I should have waited awhile because they are constantly adding new ice, but it was fun. The girls feet froze walking around in the some times deep ice shavings. It was a little slippery and got in your shoes if you were not smart like mom told them and wore their tennis shoes instead of boots.

Then we had a very expensive dinner in Heber, with our good friends that also went, that was gross. Won't make that mistake again.

 I sure miss having a young boy around. He is so much fun and so funny! We all love him.

 Erica and Scott. I love his heated coat! (note the red light on his jacket.)

H couldn't stop licking the ice. Gross!

Look how pretty.

Winter Beauty...

Being the snowshoeing lover that I am, I decided to get Danny snowshoes for Christmas. Taisha and I got some last year and we tried to go once, but there was not any snow last year. And to top it off, Danny lost his rentals which cost us a hefty amount, so he said he wouldn't rent any this year.

 

The snow was a little packed and crunchy on the paths but soft and heavenly up higher.

We even took Sasha and her new dog pack that Taisha got for Christmas. Sasha LOVED tromping around and even had admirers. She is a pretty dog.

Sasha come, and turn...

No wait stay...

Fine go!

Our little adventurer. A girl after my own heart but so much braver.

I loved how the light lit up spot of trees.

Taisha is wondering what's taking us so long? I kept stopping to take pictures. Going down was so much easier than up.

Danny told me to go stand by Taisha so I did. LOL

We are funny!

Our Snowshoe star. Maybe we needed more water at this point. LOL

I was so giggly that day. I just LOVE being in the outdoors. It is my anxiety reliever.

I sure love this man!
