Lucky Leprechaun Gold

Carlos is back from his business trip today so we both took the girls this evening to the YMCA's Lucky Leprechaun Gold Hunt. This just goes to show how little it takes to please a child. The girls had a blast. We made Irish hats and pots to collect gold in out of paper bags and some markers! They searched for plastic pieces of gold all over the ground and then turned in their "gold" for a treat (basically Otter Pops). Low cost enjoyment for all!

In spite of the fun, all of the children appeared to be wishing they were inside the YMCA playing in the indoor pool!

My Celebrity Morph

Okay, so I was goofing off at work and came across this website. I have to admit I do not routinely spend any time thinking about which celebrity I look the most like. I don't really think I look much like any celebrity and especially not like the beautiful women below, but hey the website was kind of fun...

Mammoth Memories...

Well we are back from Mammoth and pretty sad to be back to normal life. I never really aspired to live in an area up North with cold weather and snow, but I can now see why it appeals to many people. Mammoth was beautiful. Gorgeous mountains with so much untouched white snow and beautiful majestic trees.

The drive up was easier than I thought. All highway, no need for chains at all. No twisting mountain roads or carsickness! We found the condo easy enough and it was right by the main street of Mammoth. It was beautiful and pretty spacious. We got settled and did some shopping and spent the night in our temporary home.

Saturday, we spent the day playing in the snow. We found a big hill and did some sledding. We made a snow Shrek. We took a hike and explored the area. The girls had a blast!

Sunday was our ski day. It was chaotic but still lots of fun. The girls and I had an all day ski lesson and Carlos took off on his own to get in some quality ski time. I never really was able to see what Sofia's ski lesson was like since my lesson was held in a different location. However, I did run into Emma on one of my runs down the hill.

Monday, we had some adult time with some snowmobiling and I was a little terrified but it turned out to be fantastic. The scenery was gorgeous and speeding through the snow was exciting. I did need some time to warm up and I know Carlos was thinking, "How can she go so slow?"

Tuesday, we were supposed to go dog sledding, but the man who ran the dogsleds injured his back, so we ended up taking the girls out on the snowmobiles. It was clear that both my girls are built for speed. Neither had a bit of fear and both would have been happy to spend the day speeding through the snow.

Sadly, after our snowmobile adventure, we had to run back to the condo and pack up and head out of town back to home. Back to reality and laundry!
