SNOWcation

We had the most amazing week. Mike had the week off, so we snuck away and went up to the mountains in Arnold. It is just beautiful up there. We were blessed to stay in a gorgeous cabin surrounded by huge redwoods and snow. I love getaways like this and also camping were we are just forced to be together with no distractions. All you can do is hang out together, play games, build snowmen, watch movies, cuddle by the fire.... the best family time ever.

I have hundreds of pics, but here are some fun ones from our trip. And may I remind you... we were in the mountains and it was just family so I wasn't trying to make any fashion statements... you'll see what I mean.

Our home away from home for the week


We built lots of snowmen, but the boys would always tackle the poor snowmen before I could ever get a picture of them.


We would spend so long multiple times a day getting all our snow gear on. It never failed that as soon as the boys were dressed someone would have to go to the bathroom.


Lots of sledding



Lots of exploring and looking for animal tracks. We found lots of bear tracks!








Silly boys eating lunch at Bear Valley Ski Resort.



Lots of fun memories

I'm jealous. We didn't end up going to the snow. Not meant to be I guess :). Looks like you guys had a wonderful time! Love the colorful snow-bunny look, lol.
