58/365: Feb 27

Ok... so in Arizona they say if the forecast shows an 80% chance of precipitation... it's usually a 20% chance we'll actually get "wet". That's what I thought when I went to bed last night. That is NOT, however, what I found when I got up this morning.... We had SNOW! And it was sticking!!!
Now, obviously, we live in Arizona... southeastern AZ at that. This means that snow is pretty and rare AND we love to play in it... but it doesn't last very long. So we decided to go up into the mountains and get our play on. :) First we tried to go on Ft Huachuca to see about getting on Huachuca or Garden Canyon as it looked like they got the most snow. (which was true... they got so much snow both canyons and the west gate were all closed)
So from there, we decided to head out of town. We went to Miller Canyon. The snow there wasn't terribly deep, but there was definitely enough to play in. :)












Both the kids had a lot of fun! So much fun they slept the whole way home :) And it was a nice change of pace from the average Sunday around here.

Now... back to the weather in Arizona... Snow today, by Tuesday we should hit the 70s... but the end of the week we'll be nearly to 80. GOSH I LOVE THIS PLACE!
