The night before we were heading back to Las Vegas (we rented an SUV to drive back) it snowed. And it snowed, and it snowed. The storm hit about 8 hours earlier than it was forecasted. We woke up to almost 2 feet of new snow (seriously) . So instead of letting Ty go sledding we packed it up and headed out. Or at least tried to. We had borrowed my mom's car until we picked up the rental car that day. We were stuck, snowed in rather. Jim dug and dug and dug and we were still stuck. a dude came by with a little plow and cleared a path for us. He told us when we hit the gate to "go like hell" so we wouldn't get stuck again. Just after the gate we hit a huge drift and got stuck, again. Jim, started digging again. Luckily we got out, and headed down the canyon. They had closed the road to Sundance, and closed Provo canyon. (we had to get permission from the Search and Rescue truck to drive down) Just after we got out of the canyon, I said to Jim, we better check road conditions on your i-phone before we head home. It was then he realized he did not have his phone. He must have lost it digging us out. the cop wouldn't let us back up the canyon. Needless to say, when we finally got back up there later that night (we decided we didn't want to go home with out at least looking for it) and got the kids to bed, we took the newly purchased metal detector and searched and searched and searched. No phone. (we did find a coat hanger and a few other weird things 3 feet below the snow) It turns out that our "free" trip on the jet wasn't really "free" after all. Please note that yes, that is snow up to the roof line of the cabin.

Snow in Sundance

I love you comment Brooke--very deep! Marci- I can't believe you made it out alive! Ask Drew I would totally be freaking out! You seem pretty cool about it, but after all it is after the fact:)
