Snow Days

Dusty and I took the kids up to Lake Arrowhead on Friday to play in the snow. My parents have a beautiful house on the golf course and we are lucky enough to enjoy it ourselves. We thought it would be a great time to take the kids up to the snow for the first time. We left our house on Friday knowing we were in for an adventure! Chains were required on highway 18 just 3 miles north of the 210. Here is Dusty putting chains on our car in the cold rain. It's time like these, I'm so glad to be a girl!



We headed up the mountain very slowly. Everything was covered in snow and cars were stuck all over the place.





Luckily, we made it to the house safe and sound. Getting to the front door was another story. Dusty spent 2 hours clearing us a path with the shovel. (What a guy!)




The kids and I played in the snow.
Gavin had a ball!
Lincoln wasn't too sure about it.

It might have been due to the fact that his snow suit was really big on him, so he couldn't move too well. The kids were champs and didn't mind the 25 degree temps.

It snowed all day!

At night the kids enjoyed a hot bath with their fun Dad!


The next day, the sun was out and it was beautiful!
