Erin came home from work and we loaded the troops up for a surprise. We took the kids up to Big Bear for a snow day. There was about 3 feet of fresh powder. It was fun to walk in. I was sinking down pretty far. The kids pratically disappeared in the snow. We attempted to make a snow man. We were having trouble withthe snow sticking together, so we were unable to make the head. Erin had the brilliant idea to use his head for the snowman. Slater found a statue of a moose and claimed it as his new best friend. We had a lot of fun... until all the kids started to complain about snow being in thier boot, their pants being wet and them being cold. I think we need to invest it snowproof gear for the kids, that way they would last a little longer. Not that California ever has a snowy winter or anything. Overall, the kids were good and we had a great time.
