Snow!

On Sunday, we took the girls to Julian (about an hour east of San Diego) to see snow! We had heard it had snowed there last week, but as we were driving and still about 9 miles out, there was no sign of snow anywhere. But sure enough, as we drove into Julian, there was snow everywhere, 4-6 inches deep in some places.

We stopped at a Methodist Church with a big front lawn, all covered in snow, and a playground in the back. Audrey started pointing and saying "no" (which is really snow). She put her foot into the snow, though, and started to cry. (In her defense, she was wearing crocs on her feet, so not exactly the most snow-friendly shoes. In my defense, she's 22 months old and would not agree to wear ANY other shoes).

So she only stood in the snow for about 3 seconds, then we pulled out the boogie board and Iain took her for a ride. Iain and I also took rides down a little hill ... it was tons of fun. And Avery was just looking around ... clearly unenamored.

After the sled rides ended, Audrey noticed the playground and had a grand time playing there before we headed back home (which, if any of you see us at Christmas, be prepared to sing "Bingo" ad nauseum for her .... Iain and I had to sing it about 20 times in a row going out there and coming home ... each time we stopped, she would point and say "bee-oh").
