Fire Trucks, Friends and Frosty Roads

Win has a few missionary companions that he was excited to meet up with once we got here.
Two guys that he went through the MTC with live south of Salt Lake and offered to drive up and pick us up for the day to hang out. Ben and Garrett drove us to Riverton where we met their families and had a great lunch. The kids loved the kids sled cart that they had in the house and spent most of the day riding around the lounge room in it.
Then Ben (who is a Firefighter) took us to his work to show us around. The kids were very excited with the personal tour of the station, particularly when they got to ride in the truck around the block.
It was a blizzard outside and it took us hours to get home that night in the snow but we managed to drive via temple square where the kids got their first glimpse of Temple Square.

It was way too wild outside to actually get out of the car but it was lovely to see it all lit up on a stormy night.
There was a snow storm that was wide spread across the country that night, leaving the East Coast covered in record amounts of snow.
We saw a couple cars that slid across the roads out of control, one that we watched next to us narrowly miss hitting a fire hydrant. It made us re-think the sort of car we should buy. SUV's seem like a good option at the moment!
