Mammoth Adventures!

 Does anyone read this blog anymore ?  I still love to try to keep my blog up and although I don't post super often, I still like my blog for journalist purposes and sharing photos and adventures...
and oh how we love adventures and love to travel and love to do new things or fun things or new fun  things!

This year we had planned a trip to mammoth with friends and we were excited to finally take the kids on their first real trip to do snow sports!  Jon is a big snowboarder - well he used to be - he used to snowboard almost every weekend in college (in Utah).  When we got married I joined him on his trips and I learned how to snowboard (well am still learning...) . We have not been to the snow together since having kids since Jon was so used to Utah snow resorts he doesn't really like any near by resorts like Mountain High or Big Bear, so it is only Mammoth or Tahoe he will go to in California. So we finally were able to get away on a trip and bring the kids too! We had a wonderful trip and Shayla started on snowboard and Mitchell started on skiis!

And we are off...

If going up north we always stop at Schats bakery for monkey bread and sourdough bread! Yum!

Arriving in Mammoth at the same time as a storm!

The kids weer excited to try on their gear!

Snow angel time!!

Off to the snow adventures!

We got to meet female Olympic Snowboarder Kelly Clark!  Very cool!

She's getting the hang of it!

There she goes!

We stayed in Mammoth with our close friends the Meyers and had a great time!  Here I am with my dear friend Sierra!

The resort we stayed in - Juniper Springs Lodge! We loved it!  Ski in and Ski out and rentals on property and super comfy!

A fun family vacation!  See you next year!
