A Wedding, a Birthday, and a Blizzard

Hannah and I traveled to Rexburg, Idaho over the weekend to attend Kenny and Shari's wedding, which coincidentally also took place on Kenny's birthday. They took very few pictures outside because of the FRIGID temperatures, but here is one at lunch:

Getting to Rexburg proved to be quite the challenge when a huge winter storm made travel almost impossible, but it did give Hannah the highly overrated chance to see snow at Christmastime. Here she is mid-air jumping into a snow drift in the 1 degree weather.



Here we are together, that's me wearing my ten-year-old winter jacket from college. Yep, haven't worn it in maybe 6 years or so, but still fits!

Hannah also decided that we would have to make a snowman while here in the snow. Since mom grew up in Florida, I know very little about how to build a snowman. This was our final result:


It is about 6 inches tall...not exactly the size Hannah had in mind. She envisioned a huge snowman that she could decorate with a carrot nose, etc... so this was our compromise:



We decorated a snowman who is taking a rest in the snow (Best I could do with my limited snow savvy).Before we left for home, we visited temple square to see the lights. the 20-30 degree weather actually felt okay after Idaho. Flying home was challenging and we almost got stuck in Denver, but in the end we got home sans luggage and at a different airport, but home nonetheless.

Awesome snowman. I'm sure being the standing up variety of snowman gets awfully tiring after a while. Perfectly natural for them to take a break every once in a while.

The flight home does not sound enjoyable.
