Winter Wonderland

Sorry it's taken me so long, but I still have more to catch up on from our Christmas break.  

While we were in Star Valley, it snowed pretty much every day for two weeks!  They accumulated a ton of snow while we were there.  It just kept piling up!  It was so cold, we didn't get out much in it, but the last few days we were there, it finally reached into the 30's so we took Parker out in it a little bit.  

We tried to take the kids sledding, but Parker isn't the most adventurous kid you'll meet, and he didn't much care for it.  He would laugh the whole way down the hill, and then as soon as the sled stopped, he said, "I'm done." I told him if he went home, he was going to take a nap, and eventually he just said he wanted to go home, even if it meant taking a nap. So we went home. We tried again the next day, and Dave pulled them behind the snowmobile in my parents' backyard, but Parker still just wanted to play in the snow.

Here's Parker and Lance getting ready to go Christmas caroling.  My dad and Lance decorated this trailer and the side by side four wheeler, and used a generator to keep all the lights going. So me, Lance, Parker, Gina, Hallie, Mom and Dad all went Christmas caroling.  We needed more people, especially singing voices, but the kids both really liked it. Thanks Grandpa!

When it is constantly snowing, you are constantly shoveling, so Parker thought it was his job to make sure the driveway stayed shoveled.  He begged to go out and help every time Lance went to shovel.  It was pretty cute to watch him try to push that big shovel all by himself.
