SANDBAGGING

We filled sandbags for family night last night. It was a good experience, but I do have to say my back hurts today. Those sandbags are HEAVY! Our snow pack levels are at 165% of normal in Utah. My husband says he has never seen as much snow up Fairview Canyon as there is now and it is still there. He says there is still 8 to 10 FEET up on top.

When the snow comes down (if it ever stops raining) we are going to see some serious water. That is why we were sandbagging last night. 'The best defense is a good offense.'- Jack Dempsey, prizefighter. We ended up doing about 200 bags, in the rain. I was proud of my kids, they worked hard.

It really only took us 2 hours and some of that was spent eating cake and ice cream for my brother-in-law's birthday. (What a guy to sandbag for his birthday - of course, it was his house we were barricading :)

Doesn't that look nice? Hope it works and hope its enough... The family that sandbags together, stays together!
