Snow Day 08
Every Christmas, my family and I take a short trip up to Yosemite to play in the snow. There are very few perks to Fresno-living, and the drive up is definitely a highlight for me. I love seeing snow patches as we slowly drive up the hills, and then digging my UGG boots into fresh, powdery ice when we finally park. The view from the mountain is amazing and a good reminder of the Lord's goodness. The world looks so serene from the mountains. Best of all, I get to enjoy the scenery with those I love.
This year my parents were busy -- but in keeping with tradition, my big bro and lil'sis packed up the car and drove up.
Of course, we stopped at 7-11 to load up on chips, soda, and gas. This trip always makes us feel like little kids again. We joked about finishing our snacks before we even reached the foothills and how we gotta find more snacks before reaching the mountain.
Here are pictures from our trip.
Of course, my mother (once we got back and showed them pictures) teased that we took a visit at the local photo studio and stood in front of the backdrop. The pictures were so beautiful -- it was almost painted on. But we did. Too bad I didn't capture my brother running down the hills, or Jingle worrying about slipping on the snow.
