Snow in Martinez.....

I NEVER in a million years thought that I would pay money to stand in line and go down a small hill of snow, or for that matter, pay money for Kara to play in a small area of snow! Martinez has a snow festival thing every year, and they bring in 20 tons of snow for kids, etc... We went the other day because after Kara saw the snow, it was all that she could talk about. She clearly has some Mommy Midwest in her :) I went down the "hill" on the sled with her, and then we let her play in the snow area. She LOVED IT, had a great time, and didn't really want to leave. We then took her to see Santa. This year she was NOT having it. Cried the whole time. I suppose we all have pictures of ourselves crying when we saw Santa as children, so I didn't feel too bad letting her cry while they took her picture. We had a fun time together, and I can't wait to take her up to Tahoe for the real thing! Brian and I are planning a family weekend get away to the snow, or maybe just a day trip. Either way, can't wait to teach Kara how to make a snow angel.

I will post pictures later, we are having technical difficulties.....
