let it snow

Vale played in the snow for the very first time last week and loved it! She went from being super curious to excited to wet and cold! As you can see in the pictures below, she stayed hydrated by eating snow, and not only did I let her, I encouraged it by helping her find the cleanest most unplayed with patch :) My friends Norah, Paty, their kids, Vale and I drove up to Mount Laguna which was about 30 minutes outside Julian...we made a snowman, had a snowball fight, and had an all around gloriously childlike time. Afterwards we went into Julian and indulged a bit w a delicious apple pie and hot apple cider, yum!

(this is not actually a snow picture, it's from a trip to the zoo but it's on a polar bear and polar bears love snow, so there you go)
