This same weekend, we had about 5 hours to kill in between games and so I decided to take the kids up to Hardware Ranch. I have been wanting to go there this winter. It ended up being a warm day and good weather. No snow for driving conditions. Yah! So I took my kids up Blacksmith Fork Canyon and it turned out great! (Besides the fact that we overdressed a little and Corey was freaking out. She had ugly sweats on underneath her snow pants. OH NO! Girls are so funny!)
We got there and realized it was even warmer up the canyon. We walked up the big hill to get our tickets and by the time we had come down the hill, we were sweating! So we had to take off a few layers at the car before our wagon ride. We actually didn't even need mittens. It was 35 degrees up there. Corey even ended up taking off her snow pants because she was so hot.
There were not very many people and so the line was short. We got right in and our ride was great! I learn something new every time we go. There were not as many elk as normal because there has not been a ton of snow yet. But there were still enough to make it worth our trip! There were about 250 elk or so, compared to 400-500 normally. But we also saw some cool Bucks too. My kids were impressed, especially the two little boys!
Afterwards, they went and bum sledded on a little hill. Luckily the boys kept their snow pants on. It made it way more enjoyable! They had fun!
We headed home, ate lunch at McDonalds, and then really headed home! Wish Daddy could've come with us, but it was still a fun time!
