Snow In The Backyard

We often joke about having the beach in our front yard and the mountains in our backyard, that's the beauty of living in the San Gabriel Valley. For a mere 30 minute drive in either direction and we can enjoy both in the same day, not that *I* would try it these days.

Yesterday we were invited by Auntie Joy & Uncle Marvin to go play in the backyard. A few feet of fresh snow, some sleds, and a few crazy kids (& adults) makes for an interesting afternoon. We drove 30 minutes to Mount Baldy found a GREAT little area right off the road and had a blast.

It didn't take Austin long to realize that he could not walk in the snow, but boy did he try! The highlight of his day was sledding with Uncle Marvin and Daniel. Only one minor spill - never let an 8yo hold a 2 yo and try to steer, but all was well in the end.

Note: I must buy this boy some REAL snow boots!














Today looks like a beautiful day to head to the beach!


Thanks for peeking,
