SNOW TIME

With all the wonderful rain we have received in the valley, we figured there would be great snow in the mountains. So Presidents day we adventured out heading Northeast on California highways toward some of the snow parks we read about. The weather was not ideal for a drive. It was raining hard and blowing even hard. We thought about turning around but we were hopeful the weather was only cloudy in the mountains, since that was the weather report. When are weather reports correct? But anyhow we put on chains at about 10miles out and furthered the trek. It was snowing pretty good but that made it even more adventurous. Once all dressed and bundled, and out of the car, the kids were extactic about the adventure. Ready to play hard and have fun!!

Colton doesn't like to adventure into the white unknown without his goggles, which are HUGE! The snow was perfect for snowmen, good and wet and compacted really well.

We had no idea how deep the snow was until we were official in it and as you can see where people had made paths the snow goes almost up to Sarah's shoulder. When Jay and I stepped in the fresh snow it went up to at least above our knees.

Sarah adored the toddler snowman and kept giving it hugs. She is very loving.

Colton was very proud of his snowman buddy!!

It was a fantastic day and lots of fun. It had been sometime since we had gone on an adventure here in California. I love going on short road trips that result in JOY and memories as a family. These are the Treasured moments of Family!!
