Living in southern CA is great - from our house, the beach is only about an hour away, and in the opposite direction, the mountains are only about an hour away. So today, we "drove to the snow!" I love it that weather can be so pleasant where we live, but if you want to experience winter for an hour or two, you can! We went to Palomar Mountain and as we drove we watched the temperature gauge in our car go from 60* all the way down to 36* once we got to the top of the mountain. You can't tell from the pictures, but we were totally unprepared to play in the snow - no snow pants, no boots, no waterproof gloves - but we had so much fun! Needless to say, our pants, gloves, and shoes / socks were all soaked within less than an hour! We'll do better next time! But for today, the kids enjoyed every minute and it was worth it!
Anna took this family picture of us - it's a good one, don't you think?
Eva making a snow angel. That's the observatory in the background. It has a 200 inch telescope inside of it!
Eli just loving it!
Eva's favorite - eating the snow!
Check out this video! Aunt Anna and Zoe came with us to play in the snow. Zoe was a great addition to the sledding experience - we attached her leash to the sled, threw a ball, and off she went, pulling the sled behind her! Eli had a blast, and wanted to keep doing it even after many face plants in the snow!

Yes it is a good family picture but I really like the one of Eva and the observatory in the background. And I just love how Rocky laughs when Eli falls off the sled. Classic. You should send that into America's Funniest Home Videos.
I loved the video too - We need a dog to pull our kids lol! I'm glad they got to play in the snow again. :)
If you were trying to make someone from Utah jealous, you succeeded!! I would love to go to the snow only when I want it!!
It looks like a gorgeous place to visit. What a fun family activity. Fresh air!!
What fun! Your kids are so cute and I love the family pic!
The Zoe and Eli clip is hilarious. I love his little laugh. You have the cutest kids!
