I did it. YES, I have officially participated in making my first snowman. ( Sammie does not normally wear safety helmets when making snowmen, this was left over from another activity)
During our trip to Bear Lake, we went outside and with the help of my family we made a snowman. Here is my first snowman ( i have to say it is a lot funner, but more time consuming than just drawing a snowman in the ground). . .

Okay, now that I have that of my chest I can start from the beginning. We headed up to go to Bear Lake on Thursday. Once we got into Brigham City, we found out that Logan canyon was closed till morning. Since I have a deep love for hotel rooms (and I am lazy), we drove to Logan and stayed the night in a hotel room., instead of driving an hour home. The nest morning the roads were clear so we were able to head out. It was a nice drive and a short trip since we were able to break it up between two days (it's not bad to drive all at once either)We spent some time out playing in the snow. We made a snowman, some people made a snow fort. We took the kids sledding on a sled attached to the back of the snowmobiles. Eston wasn't too sure about any of this, but Sammie loved it.
Matt even tried to take both kids snowmobiling in the backyard together. That lasted about a second, but it was a good effort on his part. Sammie was the only one to really go snowmobiling (that would be the reason for the helmet in the top snowman picture). . .
We also decided to do the dirty messy crafts that I am not daring enough to do in my own home (due to me cleanfreak ways) We did some pudding painting. Sammie wasn't liking it because it made her hands dirty and why would we want to do that (she is turning into me). Eston was all but too happy to go for it. His aunt Lindsay helped him and this was the finished product. He some how managed to get even more on his face and neck, and hands, and everywhere else within the 3 minutes between when I took this picture and when we had finished.
It was nice to be able to get a break from being cooped up inside because of the snow. We had a birthday party for both of my parents, since there birthdays are about 2 weeks a part and had lots of junk food. We had a great time. I think this vacation is one of the more relaxing and easiest ones I have been on in a long time. It was great because I didn't have to watch my kids every single second of the day. They were able to just play and roam freely throughout the cabin and hardly fought at all with their cousin (Jake) or each other. We had no cell phone service, no internet, no appointments or obligations to attend to. It was beautiful. I look forward to it next time.

Random thoughts in no particular order #1 Loved Eston's pink boots. Thanks what you get when you have an older sister. #2 Thanks for planning the weekend. It was really fun. #3Thanks for not posting the picture of me falling down in the snow...I owe you #4 Thanks for the birthday dinner.
It sounds like you had a fun at Bear Lake, relaxing in the hotel and playing in the snow. Yeah for you! You deserved a break Brynn! Oh and the pic of Eston playing in the pudding is TOO CUTE! I laughed when I read that Sammie didn't want to get dirty. How can I get my daughter to be more like that? :)
Bear Lake was fun. You had some great pictures, but I think my favorite is one I took of a close up of Eston while he is suffering from a severe case of a runny nose. If you leave small unmarked bills in my mailbox I could be persuaded not to post it on my blog.
