We took Friday off of work and headed to the farm to visit Mum & Al. Note to self - always check the weather before a trip. I think we have the worst luck with trips and the weather. Disneyland and rain. Florida and a hurricane. Now Showlow and the coldest weekend of the year in Arizona.
On our first day, we kept warm inside by fire and enjoyed Mum's homemade chicken noodle soup. We went outside for a little bit so Zander could feed the chickens with Grandma and we could check out Al's car project. Zander was so funny to watch. He wanted to hand feed lettuce to the chickens.
On our second day, we headed up to Sunrise Resort. Devin went snowboarding and the rest of us went sledding. It was snowing up on the mountain and we were freezing, but we still had fun. By the end of the day, Zander loved being in the snow and even wanted to ride up the lift. I'm foreseeing ski lessons next year for this little one.
On Sunday, we went to church with Mum. It was funny to see that everyone knew who Zander was and were so excited to meet him. When we got home, we got out the shot gun and had some target practice with clay pigeons.
Even though it was cold, we had a great weekend. It's always nice to be with family and unplug from the world for a few days.
