Snow means hard (but fun) work for mums.
We had our long awaited snow day in the Sierras this weekend. It was wonderful in all ways. Our good friend Eric set up a super cabin for us called Loon Lake Chalet and we had another family join us: Sue Jon and Fiona's friend Zoey.
Fiona had initially said that she wouldn't throw a snowball at her mummy because she wanted to keep me clean but that was soon abandoned. She loved the snow, never once asked to be carried, only helped up occasionally, threw herself into it happily, never complained of the cold.
We built a snow cave and spent most of our time exploring the immediate area and perfect sledding hill right out the cabin door.
Lots of sledding, fresh powder, lots of eating snow, lots of snowballs thrown, lovely friends, few tantrums, good sleep, yummy food, cold beer, superfantastic to say the least.
