Snow!!!


Boy did we have a busy weekend!! Em and the boys went on a faerie hunt (no paint ball guns, alas), I tried out a new guy for the band, we went to a party for a really good friend of ours who's moving to Laguna, and we watched the Oscars. And in between all of this, Finn and I went up to the snow!!!








We drove up the Angeles Crest Highway to our favorite snow place at Chilao Flats, and it was an awesome snow day! Because of all of the rain, there was plenty of packed powder, but it really wasn't too cold, and we got there before the crowds (we did miss church, but sometimes you just gotta). It's so amazing to me that only thirty minutes out of Los Angeles, you can be in wonderful snow. It's actually easier than going to the beach I think!


By the way, please note Finn's excellent new shoes provided by Uncle Brian :)

We had the complete snow experience. We threw snowballs, made snow angels, went sledding, and even made a snow man, named "Snowy". See the action shot of us flying down the mountain for a taste of the excitement! Finn was super brave. That jump may not seem like much, but I'm sure that we got a few inches of air and he never freaked out.


We ended it all with hot chocolate supplied by our lovely mama/wife who also sent along carrots for Snowy's nose. It was really a great snow day!

Awesome! Playing in the snow when its not FREEZING out is alot more fun! Good idea about bringing hot chocolate in the thermos! Mu kids always come in the house, throw off their winter gear everywhere and demand hot chocolate.
I love the faeries post too! My girls would have though they'd died and gone to heaven if I took them to something like that!
