Field Trip with Zoe

A week ago, I took a day off to go on one of Zoe's field trips.  We hiked about a mile and it was FREEZING because of the wind.  Zo's teacher had the kids observe land forms and draw some of them.  Because of the wind, we went back to school and Zoe wanted me to stay with her at lunch.

Just Hangin' Out

The day after we returned from Mammoth the kids came over to play and they had a mini dance party.  It is always entertaining to watch them.  Notice the little 4 year old...you can definitely tell she has a little catching up to do!  What a difference a couple years makes!

Happy Thanksgiving from Mammoth!

Just trying to catch a snowflake on her tongue...

 Just had to post this one because Grandpa and Zach's expressions are identical!  And hysterical!  

 Ky's side...

 Zo's side...

We had such a great time in the snow with all the kids for the first time!  It snowed twice while we were in Mammoth and there was just enough snow to play and do a little sledding.  We stayed in Mammoth from Sunday to Friday, so the kids had plenty of snow play and they even had enough to make snowmen with the grandmas, Grandma and Gaga.  The kids had a blast throwing snowballs, making snow angels, collecting pine cones and rolling around in the snow.  We went on some walks during the day to wander a bit and the kids played pine cone baseball along the way.  They also had time inside and they played games and decorated the gingerbread house.  It was such a good time, we may just have to repeat the trip!
We are so thankful that the kids all get along so well and truly enjoy each other.  Thanksgiving was spent sledding, then enjoying each other in the afternoon.  We had a traditional turkey dinner that was delicious and it was perfect!  We couldn't be any more grateful for the experiences we got to have with the kids.  Happy Thanksgiving everybody!
