Finding Winter in Utah

What do we do to seek the Winter here in Utah this year?

Head for the family cabin in the Uintah mountains!

Believe it or not . . .

The snow is even scarce in the Uintah's this year.  We are about 4 feet short from what we usually experience in the winters high in the Uintahs.  But there was still plenty to have a good time with the snowmobiles when family traveled from Ohio to spend the week on the mountain with us.

Just a few highlights from the adventure . . .



 

We had a great time!
Sadly,  not every one was able to be there . . . Cory and Sara are expecting and the snowmobile trip is not really conducive to comfort during pregnancy.

So we had to make the trip without them this time.





Karianne and Greg came all the way from their home in Ohio to experience a little bit of the Utah snow!





And of course, Kelsie came from her studies in Price.

It was hard for her to break away . . . she's such a hard worker . . .  :D





And happily . . .

The snowmobiles behaved themselves and didn't give us any trouble the whole trip!





We loved having a whole week with baby Addi for us all to love on
and snuggle with!

















And before we knew it . . .

It was time to head back home again.  The fun times always go by too quickly.

Can't wait to return to the snow on the mountain and the warmth of the family cabin!

Obnoxiously Tongue in Cheek, so sorry . . .

Goodbye . . . sadly, I'll be sending you off to the thrift store . . .

 




Hello royal blue scrub top and bottoms . . .  sadly I'll be awfully bored when it's time to get ready for work . . .

but . . . on the other hand it makes it much easier to pick out an outfit . . .(ideal for the less fashion coordinated)





 I'm sure you're dying to know why I would send all the cute, brightly colored, highly personable and free thinking (not to mention expensive!) scrubs off to the thrift store - RIGHT??

a certain popular and highly visible employer of many people
(you can always Facebook me if you want to know who)

has succumbed to increasingly creating an atmosphere noted for it's classless, less laissez-faire, exclusive of idealism and any pictoriality denoting meaning, type of environment.

(Sorry I can't say that in plain English . . . it's not very patriotic, and probably would be frowned upon :D  )


Anyway - if you're in the market for scrubs . . .

They should be readily available at many of the local thrift stores!

I'd keep them for pajamas . . . but I really prefer my

flannel pink-polka dots.
