Apples & SNOW!!

Here are the pics I promised of our first snow.
We didn't have to wait to long after getting here!
(9 days)
First, we got some apple picking in.

Hyrum, what are you doing?
(Yes, we have to start patching his eye too!)

Ethan, always the "ham"!

Look at the backgound. Gorgeous! Look closely

and you can see the Great Salt Lake.

This is the view right behind our house. This is

actually our neighbors yard.


What a view! This is what we look at all the

time. Plus, to the right a little is the Bountiful

Temple. We can see if from our house, especially

at night.

Picking apples. I was using an old

trick, just shake the tree and it will

"Rain" apples. Watch out, they hurt when

they hit you!

This is the "left overs" from our neighbors tree.

They had already gotten theirs and we didn't even

get them all.

They were so good I could hardly wait to try one!

Where are the good apples?

Here are all our apples. The small box we got as

a welcome to the neighborhood, the medium box

was from our tree in the front yard. The basket

is from our neighbors tree who asked us to come

help before it snows (the next day). All in all we got

about 120 pounds of apples.

NOW...

This is what we woke up to.

Seriously, the day before was 62 degrees, no clouds,

a beautiful day. Rhett and I thought that the

weather men would be wrong, like in Arizona all

the time. Even though they were saying it WILL

snow, we didn't believe it. I guess we were wrong.

See the deer tracks in the snow? We have a group of

about 25 deer that are always around. Awesome!

It snowed all day!

I really hope it was clean!!

Hyrum wasn't so sure about the snow at first.

(Actually I think this was taken when Rhett

left for work)

Jensen's turn to explore

The kids were so excited about the snow that they wanted to

play in it before eating breakfast. We haven't had to shovel the

snow yet or been snowed in, so the snow is still fun and a novelty.
