Snow Fun!

We decided we needed to get outta here and have some family fun time! We had originally planned just a day trip to the snow, but ended up being able to stay the night! The kids were so excited, the morning we left they were up at 5:30am....are we leaving yet, can we go now?????
What a perfect little trip; Idyllwild is only 1 1/2 hours away, no traffic, not a lot of people, awesome! It rained for a bit, but us "un-snow getters" (I know, wth kinda word is that) didn't care and played out in it for about 2 hours before we realized we were started to freeze, literally! But it did snow all night and was beautiful the next morning! Here are some pics and video of us having FUN :) Some of the pics are blurry, one cause trying to focus wearing big snow gloves is pretty hard and it was raining/snowing so I was trying to cover the camera and take a pic...not that talented.





This video is funny...I am filming all the scenery, the cabin; it seems all peaceful, and in the back ground you hear Jay yelling at the kids haha, poor daddy got a work out carrying them, and their sleds up the hill about 20 times that day!




Kaden's first attempt on a snowboard.




This was Kaden's second full run down the little slope, the first time he didn't stop himself (i.e. make himself crash lol) and went right over the berm at the end; which had a 3 foot straight drop to the asphalt road on the other side, live and learn, right!? If we would have been on a real mountain he would have been off and not looking back, he caught on so quick!





Poor Kohl, no matter how we carved out the snow he would somehow always end up going straight into those bushes, every time! He got so frustrated! But is was actually pretty funny. And bushwacker comes from my brother who is notorious for running straight into bushes when he rides quads, so they'll be sharing that name now lol

My loves and I

My handsome lil man!

Poor daddy, at least he got a great work-out in over the weekend!

Everyone, up the hill again...

Kaden learning to snowboard

They could have sled ALL day, they loved it! Especially Brady, if his brother's were using the sleds, he'd just run, jump and roll down the hill...yes, my kids are weird and crazy!
