Snow Days!

We always have this week in Feburary off, and for several years we have camped at the beach. It has been hit and miss, we have years of all rain and years of great weather and you never know when you have to make reservations 7 months ahead of time! So the plan was to leave Saturday, but the weather reports said it was going to be "the biggest storm of the winter!" Made us a little nervous about being right on the beach~ so we chickened out!

Our unexpected change of plans could not have been more fun! Instead of camping in our trailers next door to the Van Zee's we rented cabins next door to each other in Idyllwild. If it was going to be the "biggest storm of the winter" we were at least going to be some where we could enjoy it, and we did.

It was absolutely beautiful to be up there while it was snowing. It started when we got there and snowed the whole next day too. The kids had a great time sledding, and playing in the snow. Walking right out the door to play in the snow was new to them!

Many of you are reading this thinking that we are CRAZY! Driving to the snow to relax when you are dealing with it everyday and so sick of it! But it was wonderful and now we are glad to be at home where it is going to be 70 today!
