Snow!!!
Well, even though we couldn’t go stay up at Aunt Lila’s, we went up to the snow for the day today. I’ll post pictures tomorrow, but it was a great day, even with the tears after the wind knocked Thing Two over and later when her feet started to thaw and were killing her. Sledding, snow angels, snowball fights, snowman. Oh, yeah!
We went to the snow park at Yuba Gap, and it was great — only $9 for all of us for the day. Well, plus the $18 two-person sled, but that will last a long time. And the gas to get there. And the laaaate lunch @ Subway afterwards. But hey, it was worth it. (Bye-bye, Christmas money!!) Since the girls don’t have to be back at school till the 8th, it would be great to go to Aunt Lila’s next week for a couple of days (assuming they get some propane, of course), but I don’t think Hubby could get the time off work right after having this week off for shut-down. Oh, well…
Oh, and before we go to the snow again, we’ll get the girls some snow boots and me some gloves (thanks for the loan, Auntie!). And next time, we won’t forget my jacket. And Hubby won’t wear a short-sleeved shirt. Oy.
Glad you guys got to go. We are going next week for a day trip. The kids will be snowboarding, while Rick and I sit in the ski lodge and celebrate our anniversary. Jesse had to get new snow pants this year. Caught a good deal at Sports Authority, $24!
i was hoping we’d get a little snow in memphis at christmas but no luck (probably a good thing as it does freak those southerners out a little). glad you guys got to go play in some. i’m hoping for a tahoe weekend this year as my neighbor has offered us her cabin for free!
