Okay...we weren't sure if we would make it or not, and we got off to a later start than we wanted this morning (Dad wanted to leave at 6am, but that wasn't going to happen). Luckily, we left just after 9:00. We found that the Cajon Pass had been closed all morning, but it opened up right when we made it to that point! It was a slow drive, but we made it! Ethan whined and complained the entire way, but as soon as he saw the snow completely covering the road he got excited. Before even making it to the condo, he was saying, "I'm staying here for a long time!" They were ready to go!
I tried to have the kids watch movies (using the headphones of course since we didn't want to listen to hours of E.T. and home movies aka "Baby Shows"), we listened to music (and sang), I packed lots of snacks, and we played car games. That was not enough for E Bear. He was still a crab!
The wait seemed to be nearing an end when all we saw was white!
Even the highway was completely snow covered!
Just after arriving we took a walk around the Village. The boys remembered the gondola from last year and posed for a picture in front of it. It is just steps away from where we are staying. We are so fortunate that Dad works for a company with vacation perks like this! Wow!
The boys posed for a picture on top of a huge pile of snow in front of our balcony.
Seth hammed it up while the snow fell around him.
The next morning we awoke to this snowy scene from the balcony. It had snowed all night. Only a small walking path had been cleared at this time.
While I made breakfast, Seth took being on vacation to the extreme. He lounged on the bed in the boy's room and watch cartoons in his chones!
