snow, snow...

...EVERYWHERE!!! Although we missed the snow here in Macon this weekend, we got our fair share in Sapphire, NC. It began snowing as we were heading up the mountain Friday and there was a plethora of the white stuff until we got down the mountain Monday afternoon. We probably had 6 inches of it on the ground when we left. I must say that I had my fair share of it, so much so that I told Keith I'd like to go back to the mountains in maybe June when all chances of snow were gone!

The whole Moxley clan went on this trip. Most of us stayed at our place, while a few others stayed elsewhere. We shared lots of time visiting, laughing, playing in the snow and checking out the area. There was a day trip over to Brevard and then on to Hendersonville. Most of the group went snowboarding at the nearby ski resort the following day. Some didn't fair so well, but I am proud to report that Carter did well and LOVED it!!! I didn't get to see it (I was at home sick) but the reports that I got from Keith, cousin Maddie and Carter himself were all good. Carter reported that he had "awesome moves!" Keith said Carter kept requesting/demanding that he let go of him. By the end of the night, they had negotiated a few more runs and Carter was snowboarding down the bunny slope solo!!! Yay Carter!!!

We awoke Monday morning to snow covered roads and more of it falling from the sky. As we cleaned up and got ready to pack the cars, the snow plow man came back through to scrape the roads. We made it out of there, although we encountered some patches of not so clear road. I have NEVER been so glad to see sunny, blue skies and dry roads!
