Fun in the SNOW!!!



For Memorial Weekend we went to the Whiting Homestead. Every year our family has this weekend set aside for projects that need to be done at the Homestead. For this year there was a 3 page long list of ""to-do's". So we were excited to go help out and have a fun time camping. We were a little concerned about the weather, when we left SJ's, it was windy as all heck and it started to hail! As we were getting closer to the Homestead we could see snow on the mountains. Yikes! Josh was pulling the 5th wheel with the truck and behind the 5th wheel was a little cargo trailer full of tools and supplies. I was driving the Durango pulling a trailer with the ranger on it. We pulled off onto the Homestead road and boy was it slick! Mud, puddles and snow sure makes it hard to pull anything! We didn't get stuck but it was wild getting up there. At the Homestead there was about a foot of snow!! HELLO, it's almost JUNE! We had so much fun, we had to go back into town and get snow boots for the kids and of course a snow sled for them to play with. There was about 70 people that had planned to come, but I guess everyone got scared off by the snow and only about 12 people came! We did more playing than work, and we had a great time, one last romp in the snow before next winter.
