Snow Day!

With Jed in Puerto Rico much of the time I find myself getting pretty lonely on the weekends. So on Saturday my sister, mom and I decided to drive up the mountains to let the kids play in the snow. We have been having major rain storms here which have caused a lot of flooding and many days inside the house. We knew this meant there would be "snow in them thar hills." We drove up to Yosemite thinking that would be our best bet. As we drove it was still rainy the whole way which me a little nervous about finding the snow. We started to see little patches of left over snow and then we saw a sign that said "Chains required 1 mile ahead." This got me excited...snow ahead. Finally we came around a corner and saw a pullout where people were putting their chains on. We pulled over and let the kids get out and play. The whole drive up Hyrum kept saying he wanted to build a snowman. Ashlee just wanted to get in a snowball fight. We had a terrific time and the kids loved the snow. It was so perfect they played until they were soaked thru then we changed their clothes and got them warm and drove back down. It was a fun time and the kids loved it. We made an incredible snowman, people were even stopping to see it. Cole ate a little bit of clean snow and Ashlee got her snowball fight!
