Bad timing for a snowy day.

So after our trip to Disneyland we were ready to head home. We had Matt's sister following us home. We soon realized the 15 freeway to get out of California was closed due to a freak snowfall. So we decided to go another route and headed towards Arizona to go up the 95. Well we had left Disneyland at 3pm and ended up in Laughlin at 11:30 pm because the 95 was also closed due to snow. So we stayed the night in Laughin and woke up the next morning and saw all the semi-trucks still on the side of the road. Obviously due to the road still be shut down. So we went to the buffet for breakfast and then headed back to our room. We then noticed the semi-trucks were gone so we ran to our cars and headed for the 95. Yeah it was open and we moving right along and then suddenly we were stopped. We ended up being stopped for 2 1/2 hours on the road. What the heck? We still don't know why we were stopped. The traffic going southbound was moving but everybody going north was stopped. Once the traffic got going we were home in 1 hour. The whole trip was very annoying. The funniest thing though was that school was cancelled for a snowday and by the time we got home at 3pm there was no snow to be seen. Glad to be home. These are pictures of the kids bored out there mind in the backseat during the 2 1/2 hour stop and pictures of the snow on the 95.

It is so weird to see snow on the side of the freeway (the 215)...crazy weather!
I would have DIED to be stuck in that traffic with or without kids!

I was wondering how you got back in time for Relief Society Dinner! Sounds like a miserable drive. (I'm blog stalking you through Rachael)
