sledding in yosemite

We drove up to Yosemite on New Years day to go sledding. We had gray skies and it was freezing here at home. I told carl that I didn't think that we would drive out of it, but as soon as we got to the top of Old Priest grade (a narrow, steep shortcut to Yosemite) it was sunny and beautiful. It was warmer up there than here in the valley. We had a lot of fun and ate a picnic in the snow and had yummy hot chocolate. I love that we can drive to snow but not have to live in it. Carl has always wanted to take the boat out on New Years and wakeboard one day and drive an hour up the mountain and snowboard the next day. ( He can get in the freezing cold water all by himself)

Hot chocolate face!!!


Carl was super smart and brought the camp stove for some yummy hot chocolate.

This picture is for our friend Misty because she told Sydney to make a "snow angel" for her. Syd didn't even notice or care that she was on ice and not making that great of an impression. She stood up and said the angel was for Misty.

"QUEEN" of the hill!!!

She can be such a poser.

Caleb made this snow fort to hide behind when dad was pelting him with snowballs.
