This morning Ruth made Valentine cards for our kids and put them on their bedroom door while they were cleaning their room before breakfast (Swedish pancakes are the best!). Kaitlin had lost her card by picture-taking time.
After our late breakfast we got our snow clothes out and bundled everybody up and drove up to Boggs State Demonstration Forest. This forest is in the Mayacama Mountains just to the west of Clear Lake off highway 175. The elevation at the forest entrance is right at 3000'. We weren't sure if we would find snow up there but we had high hopes. At around 2500' we started to see snow on the ground and the kids started to get excited. I said I didn't see any snow so we would have to turn around. Of course the kids all hollered "NOOO!"
We had fun for about and hour. There was four to six inches of snow everywhere. The forest is so thick there was always snow falling from the trees somewhere close. We made a big snowperson and threw lots of snowballs.
It started to snow and Aaron's outer layers were getting wet so we headed home. Everyone loved the snow! Hopefully we can go again soon.
Edit: In the evening Ruth and I enjoyed some broiled rib-eye steaks, thanks to Sarah and Joe. A sitter came over and played with the kids while we went to the ward Dance and Dessert event. We tried learning the "Two-Step" without any success. We did learn how to say "One-Two-Quick-Quick". I think it was my most enjoyable Valentine's day ever.
