Snow

Yosemite in the winter!! Could anything be more beautiful. Last spring when I took the kids to Yosemite, we found this amazing (and inexpensive!) lodge that's on a golf course and a huge open field. It was so beautiful and fun and I thought, we need to come here in the winter with David! And so that's just what we did. And to make it even more fun, we went with two of our favorite families in the world - the Miner's and the Dullum's. I don't think we could have had any more fun. The kids played in the snow non-stop. The weather was perfect. (David will say that is easy for me to say since I wasn't the one driving in the rain on the way there and the fog on the way back, but it was perfect at the times we needed it to be...) Being there was a dream come true! It made us realize how much we really truly miss the snow!

We did lots and lots of sledding. Sometimes on sleds and sometimes like penguins. And thanks to the best present in the world from my parents, we were able to have smores in the middle of a snowy field after sledding.

I had to laugh at my snow outfit - it's the same one I've had since high school! Same snowpants, same boots. I got that green jacket the year I got married!

The Wawona has no TV's, and no phone / internet reception which was wonderful as we stayed up talking and laughing next to a fireplace. We felt so clever as our jokes were circular just like a Seinfeld episode. A perfect way to start 2009...
