30 Below!!

It's 30 below today and we are shouting hurray!
Really, it was -15 but with the windchill it felt like -30. Why do we celebrate? Because when it is that cold we get a cold weather day from school. No school for the kids and no school for the hubby. An extra play day, a day to sleep in, etc. Fun.
But it is too cold to go out and play...too cold to build a snowman....
too cold to go sledding...



So we packed up the kids and went to Big Judd's were we each ordered our own Big Judd's Big Burger and Big Fries.


But, they were so big we all decided to just share this one!




And in case you did not all think that was enough calories, the kids each got a Big Judd ice cream cone!



Then we went on a scenic drive to Kelly Canyon Ski resort. We saw a lot of cool stuff. This barn was one of my favorites!


We saw 86 deer! These ones we scared away!

This is a shot of Kelly Canyon. We tried to get a skier or boarder wiping out but had no luck.


We were amazed to see three buck deer. Two spikes and this one in the back that was a four point. If you look really close you can see that he only has one horn. The other has fallen off.


I hope you can see these two little doe tucked away under the tree. We had a great day even though it was a little cold.
