snow, snow, snow!!

 I'm a Southern California girl who has never spent much time in the snow.  My kids have never seen snow, other than a little pile in a parking lot at Bob's Big Boy in Apple Valley several years ago. Needless to say, they were pretty excited when we drove in the entrance to Yosemite and saw SNOW! Not just a little pile either.  Snow everywhere!

 Their first impulse was to run out into it and plop down to make snow angels!  It only took 10 seconds for Luke to throw the first snowball.  I was so thankful that Joy gave us lots of jackets, scarves, gloves, hats, socks and boots for all the kids. It made such a difference for them not to have cold feet.  They were able to run, jump around, throw snow, and climb up the trail to see the Bridalveil fall.

 Caleb didn't like the snow very much.  We didn't have snow boots for him and he didn't like the way it felt on his legs so Bill carried him up the trail and back. 

 

By the end of the trail, I finally caught Caleb smiling!  His hair looks wet because the snow was falling off the branches of the trees and hitting us on the head as we came back.  The fun was just beginning! More snow pictures to come soon!
