This morning we woke up and Rob had decided that today was a perfect day to introduce Clark to the snow. Off to the cabin in Pine we went. Seeing how Clark has never really been in cold weather, he didn't really have the right clothes, so we borrowed old snow clothes from my sisters....hence the pink coat, purple snow bibs, and leopard had. He was a real show stopper and I wasn't much better in my purple ear warmers from my mom and my dads true "vintage" ski coat with the original Sundance ski tags from his last trip. There was SOOOO much snow! Luckily for us, 15 min before we got into Payson they had plowed the roads leading into Pine. Everything was smooth sailing until we hit the turn we had to make to head towards the cabin. That was the first time we got stuck. Luckily we were able to borrow a shovel from a neighbor and dig us out. We should have turned back then, but we had such faith in Rob's beloved Forester. We continued down the 2 ft. of snow that had tracks. We crossed the creek, but as we got ready for our next turn we got REALLY stuck. We were about a 10 min. walk to the cabin, so off we went trecking in snow up to my shins with jeans and tennis shoes. It was pretty cold, but a really pretty walk up to the cabin! We started a fire and got all situated and then Rob went back to go dig the car out once again. After Rob got back the fun began!!! We went sledding down a little slope right by the cabin and had so much fun! Clark loved the snow, but liked eating it even more! After a couple of hours up at the cabin, we made the arduous snow treck back to the car. What a fun day!
