Hobble Creek Canyon.


We went on a family drive to Hobble Creek Canyon and enjoyed looking out the window to this beautiful, white winter wonderland in all its splendor. (Minus the sibling quarrels in the backseat.) We took our treasured Tim Tams (our stash is quickly running out!) and some hot chocolate to slam them in. Bethany of course, needed to go "potty" and it was very funny trying to take off all her clothes (because she was wearing a snow bib/overalls). Exposing any part of your body in that weather is horrible, let alone a cute little red bottom! (Makes me laugh just thinking about it.)




As you can see in their eyes and smiles, they were full of energy and mischief and enjoyed throwing snowballs at each other......just not recieving them. Which naturally caused a few dramas!
On the way home we saw this ice scuplture of Madagascar. All of us were very impressed, so we stopped the car for further investigating. (Which we went and saw at the dollar theatre last week on the Martin Luther King holiday with some other families. As it is half-price on Mondays, we spent a whole $2.50 for our family!!! Isn't that fantastic.)








Another thing we thought was funny on the way home was a picture of three chapels in a row. You can't see it clearly in this photo, but there is three steeples in it.

We must have been still trying to get childrens energy out and stopped off at the duck pond on campus for the last attempt of cheeky monkey energy burnout and they continued to go wild. I I have no idea how many laps around the pond Hyrum did?



Never would I have contemplated having to tell my chilren not to throw snowballs at ducks!!!
