We made a trip up to Big Bear today...well almost. The crazy amounts of rain we have gotten over the past week have made for crazy amounts of snow in the mountains. The snow plows have not been able to keep up and thus road closures have become inevitable. However, we decided to venture out in hopes of finding even a little bit of snow for the girls....
Mission accomplished!! We had driven just about as far as we were permitted, and there it was...a snow park just for inner tubing!! The empty parking lot lead us to believe it was closed, but we soon found out we would get to enjoy the park pretty much all to ourselves. Needless to say, the girls were excited!! This was Ella and Chloe's first time inner tubing, so we weren't too sure how ready they would be to hit the steep slopes. So, we started on the smallest hill we could find...that's all it took. After one run down the hill the girls wanted to find the biggest one...yes, even Chloe! I think the girls would have sled their way well into the evening, but we knew their hungry tummies wouldn't last much longer. We will definitely be back soon!!
Getting ready to find some snow
Chains were required...our daddy was a hero...he did it all by himself....
Snow plow clearing a path (look how pretty the sky is!)
We are ready!!
Mmmmm...I didn't know snow tasted so good!
The first run of the day
The second...Ella is such a big girl :)
Chloe insisted she walk, she more "waddled"
Climbing the stairs to the top...snow tunnels!!
Ready...set...go!!
That's home sweet home in the background!
Playing in the snow is hard work...
