We are early risers and it is not uncommon for us all to be up by 5:30 on a Saturday... We were all sitting there on the couch watching cartoons, Kyle and I with coffee and Blake and Luke with milk, and then Kyle looks over and says... lets go into the mountains and have breakfast and a bonfire... those of you who know my darling husbands character know that this is a little out of the ordinary for him to suggest, he is more of a planner, so I like to think that after 11 years, I have rubbed off on him a tiny bit!
I went and got all the kids clothes together and Kyle packed the truck with wood and chairs, and then we were off!!! We told the kids that we were going on an adventure, and that special things were about to happen. 6:15 AM, we were off...

We headed up into Greenwater and took Forest Road 75 up into the foothills (we are familiar with this area) and I say that we drove probably 5-8 miles on the bumpy forest road, and then something special happened... SNOW!! They were so excited to see snow. Luke has never really been in snow and Blake couldn't stop talking about it! We got to our spot, built a fire, played in the snow, went on a walk about and really had a lot of fun. Blake kept saying... "this adventure is AMAZING!!"

Kyle taught Blake how to make "yellow" snow and why we dont eat it :) The boys dug in the snow, Luke was more interested in touching it and trying to figure out what it was, and Blake was running off into the woods looking for Lions... had to explain that different types of animals live in different types of forests HAHA... It was a really great morning... It only took us about a half hour to get up there and we were home by 10:20 AM HAHA just in time for a good nap :)
