Snowed In

We tried to go home, but the road in Swan Valley was closed.  It was kind of a surprise, because the weather didn’t seem so bad. 

These kiddos loved passing the time playing in the snow.  Poor Cooper couldn’t come out and play.  He could not figure out how to walk in his boots, he would just stand for a second and then fall over.

Our comfy little cabin.

The snowed in kids also did a little of this.

Here we are outside watching the cars continue to line up…waiting for the road to finally open.  They said it would open at 3 AM, but it actually opened at about noon the next day.  I didn’t mind, it was nice to sleep in a little bit.

We were glad we had some friends to help us pass the time.  We had a great time playing games, eating some-not so yummy-Swan valley cuisine, and letting the kids have a movie party.

Like Aaron said, in 35 years of traveling to Star Valley, he has never been snowed in. Glad the Wards were with you to play and help pass the time. That is quite the experience to watch all the cars line up waiting to get back to Idaho Falls - that's Idaho winters for ya! Glad you finally made it home safely!
