We went from Atlanta weather to THIS!

s the first winter we have been back from our mission.  There are many things about the weather that we miss, and this winter has added the weather as a big one!  Our winters in Georgia were quite mild.  We had a few snowflakes while we were there.  We experienced a weird hail storm during a tornado warning.  But we were lucky enough to miss snowmaggedon there.

We have a cabin in the mountains here in Utah.  When it snows a lot, we have to go up to shovel ThiIItthe front deck. This year has been crazy!  Fortunately, Andreia is a machine at shoveling and Kaitlyn is more than willing to help when she is around.  So, Jim and I shoveled once.  The next time Kaitlyn came and brought friends to help.




So, the snow has continued to fall.  We go from several years of drought to record snowfall.  And it isn't just one or two days of snow.  It is several times a week.  So, Kaitlyn, Andreia, Jim and I went up again to clear the deck. 

The picture is Jim standing on the mound in front of the garage door.  In the picture on the right, he is standing on the mound looking through the railing of the deck.

Titan also jumped, but I didn't get his picture. 

It is not all work, however.  Jim and the kids built a luge run in the back and had fun with that.  And Kaitlyn got to live a dream she has had for years.   She always wanted to jump from the deck into the fresh powder.  This year, there was plenty of snow and she did it.
