Thanksgiving


How do you end a trip to Utah that starts with a Blizzard?
You end with Blizzard on the way home!
Thankgiving was interesting to say the least. We tried to beat the so called "Blizzard of 2010" by leaving Tuesday and driving through Las Vegas instead of going through the pass from Panguich. All because the news was reporting a huge Blizzard coming to Utah. We stayed the night in St. George for fear of getting stuck in the dark in treacherous weather. While watching TV in our room that night, we see that American Fork (and most of Utah co.) got no snow at all. I was glad we were safe, but disappointed that we added so much time to our already long journey.
Anyway, it was brutally cold with temps as low as 9 degrees.

On the way home the following Sunday, we awoke to yet, another storm. Not categorized as a Blizzard, but it produced way more snow. 5-6 inches lay on the ground when we got up to load the van Sunday morning. Mikey had white knuckles from driving through the HWY 20 canyon from Beaver to Kanab. It was not fun. Anyone who knows me well, knows Im the worst backseat driver in the world, so I was holding onto the OSH (Oh S*** Handle) next to my window for dear life. I was freaking out the whole way. The kids were oblivious as they watched movies and Asher slept. Had it been recorded (which Im sure, unfortunately for me, it was in heaven) it would be like watching the seen in A CHRISTMAS STORY where Ralphie is beating the tar out of the bully and profanity is running recklessly through his lips while onlookers gasp. The script for that seen was played by me in the front seat,with my feet on the dash, and gripping anything possible with every skid or turn.- Ok, I digress.
We made it home alive.

We were glad to see you, even if it was in the dark of night and freezing cold! At least you got some oranges!
