This and that and more snow!

It's been a cold couple of days in Mantua.  We received over a foot of new snow over the past three days courtesy of Mother Nature.  I'm not sure what we did to upset her but certainly 12 inches of snow on the ground, that didn't melt that I'm still looking at on the ninth of April is a little much. On Thursday I had to put the Jeep in four-wheel drive just to get into Mantua, now that's nuts!

We made plans to go to Baby Animal Days with the nieces and nephews in Logan and due to the snow, wind and freezing temperatures the festivities we scaled down and some were cancelled.  We decided that we'd wait for a warmer weekend to visit the farm and the baby animals.

Saturday took us to American Fork to look at a couple of cars. Joe used to coach football with Doug Smith so he and Morgan went with to go car shopping.  Joe kept trying to get Morgan's approval to get a new car and she finally said "Dad we can't get another car because then we'll have to build another garage in the back yard and then I won't have a place to play."  A very smart five year old!  Of course Joe was just teasing Morgan but once she explained her reasoning Joe had nothing more to say!

I have been looking at cars the last few months, thinking we'd get a used Hyundai Sonota or a Kia Optima, but that wasn't the case.  We've wanted to get a car to save on gas and to extend the life of the Jeep by not driving it as much.  We found a steal of a deal on a Camry that had been liquidated through a dealership that had gone out of business.  To make a long story short we ended up getting a brand new Camry that only had 60 miles on it (after driving home from American Fork, it now has 150 miles on it) and we got it for a used car price.  I haven't taken any pictures of it but here are the pictures of the dealer's website.
