SNOW!!!!!

    Hey everybody! Over presidents day weekend my family and i went up to the laguna mountains. When we got up there we were surprised to see two feet of snow all over the place! We almost couldn't get home because our car got stuck in the snow. we were digging for six hours before we made any progress. Any way, it may have been cold, but it sure was beautiful! Here's some pictures i took. I know there not drawings, but i had to show you!
        Believee it or not, our picnic table is under there somewhere. The snow weighted down the branches and they drooped down over the table. The entire forest looked like this!
     This is my snow man! If you ask me , he resembles Dudley dursley just a bit. He's kind of hard to see, since its snow against snow.

Here I am with Dudley! As you can see I was pretending to be an Eskimo in my parka. Man, it was cold up there! You had to wear a beanie and a sweater to bed so your ears wouldn't freeze and fall off. In that picture my hand is cold because I had to take off my glove to turn on the camera.
    
Here's another photo of the branches drooping. That thing in the bottom right hand corner is a wood pile.

An up the hill shot, right out of the back door of the cabin. Really, I was standing in the door frame with my camera.



All the trees up there looked so strange covered in snow. My little brother said they reminded him of the trees in a Dr. Seuss book. Then we all started laughing and singing,       " You re a mean one, Mr. Grinch."


Somewhere under the snow, those are bushes. To me they kind of look like really big white funnel cakes. I had to take this picture really fast before my little brother sledded over them.

All the branches on the trees were completely encircled in snow. They all sort of meshed against the dark sky like a great big spider web. I wanted to just stand there and stare at it for hours.


The snow would build up in strange places to create these snow dunes. It made for exellent sledding.


I cant even describe this picture. Its just to pretty.And cold.


Another one of the snow piling up on the branches.


I took this one just as we went inside for the day. Can you see the fog rolling in? Just after we closed the door, it started snowing really hard. It was amazing to see all the little flakes whirling down, it was like sitting in the middle of a snow globe.
