Well I came across some photos I edited and forgot to post! You can check out the start of our time at Big Bear here. And here is the rest of the story . . . what could be sillier to post as we are enjoying basking in the sun at the pool? It’s fun though to look back at the magic of this snowy time as we pull out the sunscreen and bathing suits! That’s the blessing of family, enjoying each part of the year, the ups and downs, seasons and holidays, making the most of the time together.
In January my oldest little man turned eight. What did he want to do? Where did he want to be… on a snow mountain of course! A snow mountain that had had no snow all winter. We heard there was to be a storm the night before we drove up, would the roads even be open? We shouldn’t have worried, because when this little boy wants snow, God gives it to him. There is a history of freak winter snow storms in places it should never snow when Aaron is around. This time it was just a few inches,making driving up the snow mountain a breeze, and we arrived in a winter wonderland.
This is the second morning after celebrating his birthday the night before in a fire lit cabin after building giant snowballs. In the first morning light we rushed up the side of the mountain just to slide down again and again. Wandering through trees, washed in the purest light. After everyone had their fill of fun we stumbled back into our little wooden lodge and refueled on cocoa. Then with hearts that never wanted to leave our mountain hideaway we made our way back down, two hours to seventy degrees and our house by the beach. Ridiculously. Awesome.
