snow basin snow hike

We decided for our Saturday adventure that we would head up to Snow Basin and hike one of our favorite hikes. The snow was deep and we only went a mile (but it was a hard mile in deep snow), but it was so amazing to be outside and to soak up some fresh air. 

We came home and had a hot dog roast right as the rain started coming. We finished up fast and most of us headed inside for some warmth. Justin and I worked at gathering some rocks from our (rock) driveway and put it in our tree area pathway. We were having some people come work on our driveway on Monday so we needed to move the rocks, even in the rain. We are quite the procrastinators. :)
