A Nice April Weekend in Wyoming

Well it has been 9 years since the Olymics in Salt Lake, but look what we seen in the train yard in Green River Wyoming. Saturday was a beautiful day in Green River. We were able to do some spring yard work and even mow the old winter grass off.


Then we take a Sunday afternoon drive to Star Valley and there is still 2 feet of snow. 6 inches of new snow since last weekend. Needless to say, we will not be mowing the lawn here for a while.








We did get a few more daffodils this week. I am sure spring is coming. Can you beleive that we want to retire here?

Conference Weekend in Star Valley

Well as you can see we will not be playing golf for a few more weeks. Still lots of snow, but it can be lots of fun. Shane and Todd brought their girls up for the weekend. It felt like a warm up for Grandma's Girl Party this summer.

This picture is looking out over the 10th green. It still has 2 feet of snow, but they have sprinkled some black powder to help the snow melt faster.
Lots of fun riding on the snowmobiles and riding on the tubes. With the snow settled down and melting a little, the snow does not fly all over you as it does when it is powder.


Yes this is a snowmobile upside down between the tree and the bridge. Can you believe no one was hurt and the snowmobile was fine.

We like to see how many girls we can fit in a snow cave while we are having fun.
Then if you don't find a cave, you can build some. We had a contest to see if it could be built faster in the front yard or backyard.

Of course you can't have a Girl Party without crafts and sewing. It was tons of fun.

As you can see the Dad's were very motivated to help. That's why we have Grandma.
The encouraging evidence that spring might come sometime is noticing that the snow melts away from the Southside of the house first. You can see that Joyce's daffodils have sprouted and a couple of yellow blumes starting to show. Hooray!! Summer might get here by August.
