Snow!

Andrew had his first trip to the snow. We went up to Big Bear mountain with our friends the Swanson family. We started at Snow Valley sledding and playing around in the snow. Then, we enjoyed a relaxing night at the Lake Arrowhead Resort. We left the next day just in time to miss the big crowds coming up for New Year's and the yucky weather. We had a GREAT time!!

Andrew and Ty all bundled up ready for a day of sledding and playing in the snow.

After running WILD in the hotel room, Ty and Andrew decided to mellow out and color.

First time staying in a hotel room, you've gotta check out everything. Even the shower!
