Our "Warm" Weekend!!

Rob has had spring fever pretty bad for the last couple of weeks, so we decided to go and visit his sister in Cedar City Friday night and then go hiking in Zion's Park Saturday. The forcast said 70 degree weather in Zion's....well, we woke up to a windy cold day! We decided to brave it and went down to Zion's anyway. Jenna suggested the emerald pool hike. This is the start of our hike...we tried to bundle the girls up.
Taylor was a trooper and actually hiked most of the way up.
Snack time!

We had to at least have one picture of Jordan's face on her first hike!! She snoozed the whole way!
The upper of three pools...yes, that is snow!
Rob rolled Tay up in her blanket and told her that she was a Taylor burrito....she wasn't thrilled.
A little tickling changed her attitude.
A few more random pictures! Here's Tay with her new quilt.

Tay's friend Malia came over to play and Taylor, who has a thing for shoes, wanted to wear Malia's shoes. Well, the only way Malia would allow that is if she could wear some of my shoes!! I love this picture.

This is how I found Taylor watching cartoons one morning!

Cabin Trip

We went with Rob's family to a cabin up by Strawberry Reservoir this weekend and spent some time playing in the snow!! Taylor loved playing in the snow and wanted to keep sledding even after I dumped her into a snow drift!!


There was lots of snow to play in...We had to climb down a snowdrift into the cabin!

Rob and I took the snowmobiles and went riding Saturday morning. We got on this hill...which is steeper than it looks. I was trying to turn around on the side of the hill and couldn't get enough muscle into it, so the sled decided to go down the hill. I made the decision not to go with the sled and bailed. The sled went about 500 ft down the hill and...

ended up in a creek bed!! I stood at the top of the hill shaking my head and wondering if it was going to sink!! Luckily, the sled stayed on top of the snow!

Rob went down to try and ride the sled out. You can see a hole to the left of the machine. It keeps going for 7-8 ft and then Rob said that you could see the creek running! Boy are we lucky!

After the drama with the creek bed, we got to some real riding!! This was a pretty fun place to jump the machines...too bad half the time I came off the machine after jumping it!! I am sore today!!

Taylor loved the snowmobiles! She would recline back into Rob and rest her hands on his legs!! That's my girl!!
