We drive up the Mt Pinos on Sunday to play in the snow. Avery liked it a lot more that she did at Christmas time. At least she played in it! Avery even tried to make a snow angel she wasn’t in enough snow.

Emma, Levi & Avery (with Kristin’s help) made a great snowman with a face, arms and even hair!

The highlight of the trip was when the kids found a picnic table that was completely covered in the snow. Nate “found” (fell into) a hole that was the space between the table and benches. This led to making tunnels in the snow under the table. Even Avery climed in a few times. More pictures HERE.

We were able to visit the San Diego Zoo’s Wild Animal Park last weekend. We drove down on Friday evening (not the greatest) and came back Sunday afternoon. The sun was shining on our zoo day.

Avery wanted to see dinosaurs, dragons and mermaids at the Wild Animal Park. She didn’t get to see any of them but we did get too see rhinos, giraffes, gorillas, lions and elephants in their “natural” habitat.   Avery even learned the rain dance and made it rain! (She is in the light green sun dress.)
