McComb Family

No school today for us - yay!! We went into Placerville to do some shopping. I figured I should probably get started on that, and then we went up to my parents house for a little fun in the snow. Which meant I got to try out the 4-wheel drive on the Jeep for the first time. It looks pretty good in the snow, doesn't it?! When we left my parents' house we decided to eat dinner in Pollock Pines and then just head down 50, but a major pile up shut Sly Park down for a while. (The news tonight is saying it was a 17 car accident!!!) We were the first ones in line, so we got to sit there for quite some time. But....thank goodness I wasn't driving the BMW, because I never would have made it!!!! The Jeep worked like a champ.
The kids had a great time - throwing snowballs (until Brie got hit in the face and had a major meltdown - then it wasn't fun anymore), sledding, and making snow angels!! The only thing they didn't do was build a snowman. Oh well - maybe next time!

And the perfect way to warm up after playing in the snow is to hop into the hot tub!! They got nice and toasty and then walked barefoot back into the house! : ) My little polar bears!

Here's one final picture of my parents house with their decorations that the kids helped them set up last weekend. The poor snowman's head got buried under the snow and we thought he might not make it, but we were able to resuscitate him and bring him back to life. It's hard to see all the things in the picture, but it looks good!!
As much as I'd like to not go to school tomorrow again, I'd like even less to have to go an extra day in June to make it up, so here's hoping we have school tomorrow. (Did I just say that?)
