Snow Much Fun!



We've had a pretty fun week so far.  On Sunday, my dad came up for a visit and we played all morning at Bille Park in Paradise.  I found an opportunity for a group selfie...
And a silly selfie.
 The girls had a good nap on Sunday.
The week started off pretty warm.  In fact, it was swimming weather on Monday so we went to the park and played in the creek.



 By Wednesday a cold front had rolled in and covered Mt. Lassen with a fresh layer of powder which worked out perfect for our trip to Grandpa's cabin.  There wasn't snow at the cabin but it was only a 30 min drive for us to find it.  I decided the best sleeping arrangement would be a tent on the floor, no falls and no escaping.  It worked well for us.


 Jessica turned out to be a little snow bunny.  Allison wasn't very fond of the snow, it hampered her mobility,  so I ended up holding her most of the time.
 A snow selfie.





In the double sled video it's pretty obvious that Allison fell off the sled on purpose, she didn't like the fact that the sled was going the opposite direction of mommy.

 I built an "Olaf", the snowman from "Frozen", and Jessica didn't want to smash it but, hey, that's part of the fun of building a snowman.
 I feel bad that Jessica was so distraught over the smashing of Olaf but check out Allison in this video for a good chuckle.

Olaf Smashing

I think Allison enjoyed the hot chocolate much more than the snow.

Jessica was a crack up on that Olaf video. When Lindsay was pulling Jessica around in the sled, Allison sounded pretty worried about the whole affair. Glad those sleds got put to use after all this year! Looked like some great snowball fights too. I am so happy you were able to get a snow visit in. Loved the video of Allison and Jessica having their hot chocolate. Allison looked a lot happier in that one. Thank you for the blog, It was a nice thing to come home to on my Friday evening.

I loved this blog! It was so nice seeing you all have fun together (except poor Allison). In Sled 2 I was laughing listening to Alli telling you, "Don't drop the baby." Be honest now, she must have been slipping down your hip while you were trying to get that video! I love when they play Frozen together. The cabin looks awesome, I am so glad you had so much fun! I loved watching my 4 girls!

I can't believe how much snow was up there! Jessica loves the stuff but Alli could do without it.

Love, Daddy

What a great blog! I'm with Allison, I prefer warm weather.
Paw-Paw and I will have to see Frozen so we can see why our grandkids enjoy it so much.
