SNOW DAY

The kids have been BEGGING to go to the snow since they first saw the covered mountain peaks. Halle had a week off in February and we had gotten fresh snow so we headed up to Idyllwild. Many of the our friends and family live in Utah where the kids know it snows. So, all the way up the mountain we are hearing the kids say how much they wished they lived at the snow. "It's not fair," "Why can't we just move?" "The snow is fun, it's not work, what do you mean work?" On and on...

We found a little area and decided to stop. Isaac was even excited (stark contrast from last year). The kids had TONS of fun for about 30 minutes then they were DONE! They were freezing from making a snow creature and from sledding down the mini hill on the boogie board. Right before we left it started snowing. I hadn't been in the snow as it was falling for so long. We were surrounded by tall trees and with the snow falling it was so serene. I had forgotten how beautiful and peaceful the snow is. But the kids at this point became even colder as their hair and clothes became wet from the snow.

On the way home they decided that they would, "Never want to live in the snow," "NEVER," "It's so cold, why would we want to do that!?"
