Last Trip for a Long, Long Time (Snow Day)

We left Friday for Aaron's parents - which takes about 4 1/2 hours the way we travel. We have to stop for lunch in Payson and let the boys roam for a while. And it's still a long, hard trip. And pregnant ladies don't have a lot of patience. The boys were so cute in the shirts Aaron & I got them at Target. I wish they had newborn size too - but they were perfect for these 2 monkeys! And Lucky makes 3. Lucky wanted to ride in Emmett's carseat for part of the trip, which Emmett thought was hilarious.

Alden wanted to build a snowman immediately, but we managed to hold him off until Sat. afternoon because it was freezing! Missy came from Snowflake with Gabe and Corinne and we all had some fun playing in the snow. Mostly walking around in it. There wasn't quite enough to build a snowman and the adults were all too happy to just follow kids around. Then we rode the quads around in the snow and mud for a while. In between we warmed up with hot cocoa.

We were planning to go to church on Sunday, then play a bit Monday morning and head home Monday afternoon. But we have decided not to take Emmett to anyone's house for a long, long time. He is a crazy, monkey, monster at home - and at other people's homes - oh boy, we couldn't handle it. You pretty much have to follow him around the entire time he is awake. Needless to say it was no vacation and we ended up leaving by 9:30 am on Sunday. And the trip home was no picnic. But we are back at our own home to round out the year with our own family!
