SNOW!!

I haven't had a snow day in forever! I think the last time I have seen snow was in 2004 when I went home to Michigan and vowed never ever again to return to Michigan in the dead of winter (due to the rather large snow storm I had encountered). Don't get me wrong, I like snow but living in it and visiting it are two different things. Our mission for today, was to take in some sledding with our nephew, Clayton and introduce our dog, Moses to snow.

Shaver Lake is about an hour away from the hubby's parents house. We loaded up the Rusca big truck with snow clothes and a sled and we took off on Tuesday morning on some twisty roads. Moses wasn't too fond of sitting in the back seat of the truck so he ended up sitting on my lap!! All 60 pounds of him!!

We arrived in Shaver Lake which immediately reminded me of the awesomeness of Big Bear. I saw all the cabins and thought it might be cool to rent one for a week one year. Hum. We will have to check into that later. Instead of going where the tourists were, my brother in law took us down an empty road. At the end we saw plenty of untouched snow. This was our destination.

For the next hour and a half we had fun sledding and watching Moses roll around in the snow. We all loved it! We made snow angels, ate snow and just had a good time. It was super fun! On the way home we stopped for burgers at the Hungry Hut and we even brought some snow back with us! Here are a couple of pictures.

Behind Door Number One

Have you ever watched those TV Game shows where they have a couple of doors and behind one is a grand prize? Well, this weekend the hub and I found out what was behind our Door #1. The hubby and I are starting the beginning phases of landscaping our backyard. Our first step, was to clean out the area behind our garage. When we moved in, there was about 2 feet of walking space behind our garage the rest of the area was covered in vines. Vines were growing on the roof and generally it was a mess. Not wanting the vines to take over the roof, we I started to clear out the vines last fall. But after we cut a million vines with only a pair of clippers we gave up and decided to clean out the rest in the spring. Spring came around and we didn't do much until one day when I was sick a few weeks ago, I ran into our gardener. I showed him the mess and asked if he knew of anyone who could come clean it out. I could tell he was actually, quite happy for me to broach the subject of ...

Surfing Goat Diary

We left the store and headed to the Surfing Goat Diary, again, this was a second trip for us but what was different this time is that we scheduled an hour long tour. Last time we arrive right before closing and were rushed. We spent a fair amount of time there exploring before the tour. We tried their cheesecake, we met the cats and dogs that roamed the place, we played in the playground, we pet and fed the baby goats that were penned up, and pursued the little store. Penny was eager to get her hands on the chocolate goat milk truffles. I must admit they did look good. I had my eyes on a t-shirt and a mug. Our tour started at 3:30pm that day and we met all the goats and learned all about the farm. But the most exciting part of the tour was getting the opportunity to milk the goats. Penny was quite a good milker. A friend later reminded me that Penny was breastfed (wink, wink). By the time the tour ended we were extremely hot. Maui was hot but also humid. We were ready to...

7th Birthday

Mark ur calendars, Dec 12 is an awesome day to go to Disneyland! There was no one at the park yesterday morning. We had 3 amazing hours 8am to 11am to ride! Some Disneyland records we set yesterday:  ✅A After many years, we finally got a wristband (and bought) a giant Disneyland candy cane.  ✅F First people on pirates of the carribean.  ✅ Line for Indiana Jones was 10 minutes long  😳  This never happens and we sat next to the people (strangers) who sat next to us on pirates b ut we did not walk over to the ride with them. ✅ By a fluke, we were also the first people on Big Thunder Mountain and kiddo rode in the cart by herself! (They opened late and we were in the right spot) ✅Kiddo  rode front seat on Matterhorn because a kind guy, his first visit, said he was too tall to sit in front and she wouldn’t be able to see sitting behind him ✅ Prode space mountain for the first time and huffed that it wasn’t scary and it was no IncrediCoaster. And the line...
