Where is 25th street?

It is under a few feet of snow. No we have not had that much snow, but Ogden City has been working hard to haul snow down to 25th street for Winterfest. We had so much fun there last year that we planned to spend most of the weekend down there this year. The added bonus was that Sky and Sage got to come with us.



Friday afternoon we headed down and watched the parade that kicked off the festivities. There was candy and everything. That was all it took. As Sky was picking up little Hersey kisses out of the snow bank, the man with the box came by and poured it into our coats and packs.

There are kisses every where. Lots of people out to see the festivities and enjoy beautiful weather in Ogden.

We got lucky and Megan and Drew came with us to Wnterfest. We even got a cup of coca while braving the outside.

Skyler found this sledding statue and got on the front of the sled. He has a great imagination and made the Weeeeeee sound while he sat here.

What do you think has these boys attention. Held for almost 10 minutes?

The big bang these dumps make after they dump their load. See the flap that is resting on the bank of snow? When the truck starts pulling forward after is dump that little flap hits into the bed and makes a LOUD boom. The boys thought that was a lot of fun. We got to see them dump snow on 25th and Washington. It only took 20 minutes to fill the rest of the road with snow and start the winterfest.

On Saturday we came back. We watched Skijorring, ate breakfast at a restaurant, listened to and watched snow machines, built a bird house, watched whole chickens roast, built snow men, posed by snowmobiles, and walked around a lot.

Uncle Nash came with us and helped us build a snow man. because there was no snow left in the park, the city had to bring in piles of snow. It was not the best snow man snow but with a little help from Uncle Nash we found three just right snow pieces.

Sky couldn't get the arms to stick into the snow/ice. Thank goodness Uncle Nash had just the right touch to make them stick.

Skyler used a spray bottle of blue water to put the finishing touches on his snow man. Once this little guy was built Sky was ready to start another and another. Luckily we found a bird house to build. By this time Sage and M were ready for a nap and so we sat in the amphitheater while Sky, Gramps and Nash built the house.

Over all we had a great couple of days and were very happy to get to spend them with two of the most amazing BOYs on the planet.
