Birthday Surprise

I have wanted to do this for a while, mostly for an anniversary, but looking ahead to our next anniversary with a new baby in the house, I didn't think it would be a good idea, so....
I blindfolded Quinn and drove him up Ogden Canyon Sunday night, to stay at this bed and breakfast. He was so confused when we finally arrived in the dark, in pretty much the middle of no where, and he took his blindfold off. Of course we chose THE COLDEST time to head up the canyon. Those who live in UTah know how cold it has been. But our room was toasty warm! We had a quiet, relaxing time together. Quinn's dad, his wife, and daughter graciously agreed to stay overnight with our kids. This little getaway couldn't have come at a better time, just as quinn is
beginning a really stressful semester of work, school and a new calling.
Happy Birthday Honey!



Inside and out
of the old
colonial
house. It was
a lot prettier
outide the
night before w/
the lights on.
But we were just
anxious to
get inside
cuz it was SOO
COLD!



This is a picture coming down the canyon the next day. It was really cool, this waterfall was mostly frozen, but also actually still had a bit of running water.

How romantical! Good idea, Britt! It sounds like BOTH of you needed a little get-a-way, and it looks like you had a good time! Have you gotten a second car yet? In this cold, it's probably not so bad to be home-bound! I have been wishing I never had to leave the house! Happy Birthday to Quinn, by the way!
