Snow Trip

We went to Big Bear this past weekend and it was great!  It snowed several times and was absolutely beautiful!  On day 2, we all decided to pack up and go to the inner tube park.  It was a great idea, until we realized it was $25 per person, and there was only one kid old enough to slide in our group.  None of us were willing to spend that kind of money, so off to the side of the road we went...and then back home where the best sledding was in our back yard.  Of course, I have no pictures of that.  Just side of the road sledding pics.

 Kristin was instrumental in the loading of Finn for this ride, which sent him careening toward a rock wall.

 

 We managed to remember to take one family photo.

 The house came with one snowman and Brian and Finn added the snow baby.  We actually had a carrot for his nose!

 The first snowfall was so exciting, and pretty heavy too.  Finn could not get his snow clothes on fast enough!  He ran out and held his mouth open catching the falling snow.  He decided after that experience that we needed to move to Big Bear to a four story house.  I don't exactly know why four stories, but some of the rationale included the babies having their own floor.  I assume that would keep them out of the way of the big kids.

 Second only to sledding was rolling/sliding down the hills of snow.

 Olivia...the sweetest one month old ever.  Kudos to you Graners for braving the trip with your newborn.  The weekend wouldn't have been the same without you all!
