Visiting “The North Mountain”

Lucy has been so sad that the snow has not stayed on the ground by the house for her to build a snowman. While we were at the park today, I realized that it would not be too far of a drive to go see it. Once Sam finished with work, we headed up to the slopes.I LOVE Cottonwood Canyon! The views are just breathtaking! Of course Lucy fell asleep on the way there, so she was quite delightful to wake up. Once we got out of the van and the shock of the cold was gone, she was super excited. I don’t know what it is about snow, but it always seems to entice everyone to chuck a snowball at someone else. 🤣Alex just happened to walk into William and Sam’s battle. (Revenge was later) Lucy so sneakily got Natalie. Our neighbor buddy enjoyed drawing in the snow and trying to figure out what was underneath it.And Alex finally got his chance……William’s backend didn’t stand a chance!The kids had a blast finally being able to build a “life-size ” snowman. Those Texas mud-monsters are no match for this guy!Natalie came prepared with Cocoa Puffs for the eyes and mouth, carrots for nose, and her trout hat to top him off.We all had a wonderful time, aside from realizing that our Texas winter gear is quite inadequate for Utah winters. I guess I’ll be hitting the store really soon.The sun set, and the moon rose, on our beautiful mountain top adventure. “Goodbye Brighton! It’s off to get hot chocolate!” (Which turned into hot fudge sundaes when we got back into the 60 degree valley. 🤷🏼‍♀️😂)
