Up to the Mountains

It's March, and we headed to the mountains from our spring weather down in the desert.  We went to visit Grandma and Grandpa at Camp Zarahemla.  We have absolutely no snow at home, and there wasn't any snow even 5 miles before we got to the camp.  As you get closer and closer----snow!  The kids jumped from the car, grabbed icicles to eat and celebrated that we were in a winter wonderland.  

 My dad has been attached to this tractor the entire winter, sometimes plowing for 16 hours a day.  Let's just say, they get A LOT of snow at Camp Zarahemla, and my dad has become an expert at plowing it!

 It's pretty fun to go sledding in March.  The weather was perfect, and they went sledding all day long.

 We went to work helping our "missionary" grandparents shovel all of the paths around the cabins.  It was our chance to do a little service for the camp.

 We took a day to go up to White Pass for the Winter Festival.  They had free tubing at the base of the ski lifts.  There was an ice castle that the kids could tube down.  There were snow sculptures and a blizzard of snow to go with it.

 By Sunday, we drove down to Naches to attend church.  It was warm and sunny there, no snow---a different world.  We said goodbye to grandma and grandpa and headed back home from our winter sledding adventure!

I have always wanted a laundry sink, so we've decided to add one.  We have a small half bathroom next to our laundry room.  We tiled it last year, but never finished installing a new sink after ripping out the water damaged sink and cabinet.  This week, we decided to do it.

 Somewhat of a BEFORE picture

 You can see where the cabinet had been previously.  I decided that we needed to tile the wall behind the laundry sink unit we bought.  I haven't tiled a lot of floors in the house, but this was my first wall/backsplash attempt.

 And the finished product, a really deep laundry sink, WITH a huge drawer below!
