Is That Snow?!

Yes, it is!!! Here in 29 Palms we got actual snow. I could not believe it today when I was getting in Jenny's car as we got ready to head out on a "snow hunt". We thought we were going to have to drive all the way to Yucca Valley to let the kids play in some snow. I walked out of my garage and said "is that snow?" Yes, I did get laughed at!! LOL!! True Cali girls don't know snow when they see it!! Within a matter of about 30 minutes the base was covered and it was just getting thicker by the minute. It began around 10am this morning and as I sit here typing this blog at 4:30pm....it is still coming down!! It is absolutely breathtaking outside. I would sit out all day if I could!! The kids loved it, Suzi loved it...only if Jay were off to enjoy it as well! He's been stuck at work all day. Hopefully he can experience it before it melts, LOL!! It may never rain in Southern California but it sure can snow when it wants!!!

Me and Jenny loving it!!

Even elephants enjoy some time in the snow!!
The view...typically I can see all the
way across the field to
The Johnson house but not today!!
Me by the drooping tree
The Schreyer Family built a snowman!
Sliding down the driveway on a boogie board!
Now coming down the hill behind our house!
I think this was my favorite day here in 29 Palms (well, besides the days Jay returned home). I love the snow and I can't wait until we are living in Virginia and we know to expect it and have it for a while, not just a day!!
