Snow!

Last night it snowed several inches in Salt Lake and over a foot at Alta, where it really matters.

Remember when we hiked up there, just a month ago, and there wasn't a speck of snow around? Well, now they have 94 inches. Not bad for opening weekend.

So, needless to say, Keith excitedly headed up there this morning to ski with his pack of Alta regulars, while Luke and I stayed closer to home.

We went to the JCC, where Luke is a new fan of the daycare--as soon as we get in the building, he runs down the hall to the daycare room... and doesn't cry or try to follow me when I leave. That's a new and wonderful thing.

Then we shoveled the driveway and played in the snow a bit. He didn't love it. I suppose that's because he kept falling and getting stuck. And he really didn't like getting his mittens snowy--he'd just look at his hands, look at me, and pout. It was pretty heavy snow, by Utah standards, so maybe he'll prefer the lighter stuff, which we're sure to get soon enough. And we'll keep trying--and pick up some sleds--because he'll certainly be spending a fair amount of time in the snow!
