Grammy planned our Christmas party this year at the Woodland church. We had a terrible time getting up there - left our house about 9:15 and didn't make it to Kamas until about noon - normally an hour and fifteen minute drive. There were several times we contemplated turning around, but David pressed forward and we made it safely. It wasn't snowing too bad at our house, but when we got out of Granstville, the roads got worse. We saw a car that had slid off in Lakepoint, just as we were getting on I-80 and had another one fish tail all over the road behind us. We passed several other slideoffs before we made it to SL. It was great in SL, only wet roads, but as we got closer to Parley's Canyon it was posted 4x4/chains required - we didn't know if we would get stopped or turned around, but decided to see. The roads were pretty snow packed and slick, but we finally made it. We had a good time and were able to catch up with our cousins. We played fun games, had a great dinner, watched the kids in the Nativity and had a visit from Santa. On the way home, just as we were leaving Kamas, we got pulled over by a county sherrif - what else?!? Luckily he was just letting us know that we had a brake light out. (I just got the van inspected in October.) I hope that next year we get to travel on a day that isn't quite so stormy and exciting!
