Playing in SNOW..... Sierra Nevadas

It has been years since we have lived near snow.  We have so missed the fun.  Lucky for us, here in Spain, it is just a 3 1/2 hour drive to get to it.  The Sierra Nevada Mountains.  The boys were so excited to see this snowy mountain from the car.  The closer we got, the more the excitement.  I was just as giddy.  It reminded me of home.  We went with our friends, the Phillips, and stayed in a lodge right by the lifts.   We built snowmen, went sledding, had snowball fights, etc.  Caden and Max went to a ski school for a couple of hours and then did great for the rest of the day.  Funny that Nick and I grew up in the snowy mountains of Utah but our kids learned to ski in Spain.  They had a great time.  It's definitely a fun hobby we hope to continue when we get back close to home.  This was also Spencer and Tanner's first experience with snow.  They were a little apprehensive at first, but once they figured out how to keep the gloves on, they loved it.  It was such a fun trip.
