The kids have the whole week off of school. We decided this morning that we were going to head up to the snow in Julian. It is actually a pretty short drive from where we live. On the way up we got kind of worried, because we didn't see any snow. It was getting colder and colder, but no white stuff. Then all of a sudden the rain turned into snow. We ended up at the same place we went a couple of years ago. Just some great hills on the side of the road. But, of course, we couldn't have a trip without some drama. Michael went to make a 3 point turn and "thunk" we got stuck in the snow. I will admit that it did not remotely look like the snow was deep where he was turning. So Mike and I got out of the car and started trying to dig it out. It was not working. LOVE law enforcment... A Border Patrol agent came by and within a couple of minutes a parks officer came by. They blocked the traffic and pulled us out. It made for another great memory.
It ended up being a FANTASTIC day! We layered the kids up quite well. The weather was wonderful! One minute it was sunny, but you could see the clouds coming and they were packed with snow. So the kids got to experience being in the snow while it was actually snowing. The kids had so much fun sledding down the hill..... We ALL had a lot of fun sledding down the hill. We ended the day with a trip to the Julian Pie Company! It was a great way to spend a Tuesday!

This looks like a great outing. The best part of living in CA is we go to the snow, it doesn't come to us. I love it when snow is falling. I am glad the kids had such a good time. The pictures really capture the experience. And then to top it off with Julian pie - a perfect day.
What a great day! Rom is taking the kids up to Idyllwild today -- they should have a lot of snow! I'm covering at work -- I just don't love it the way he does. Wish we had Julian pie, though.
All, right, that's it! YOU MUST come up here some winter for some REAL snow days! My kids love the snow. Course, you can't get Julian pie afterwards here.
What a fun day! Julian pie Co is my fav too!
I love playing in the snow. We don't get good snow here. It makes me miss Utah a little. I would love to have some Julian pie co. Pies! Yummy!!!!!
