Snow!!

we took the kids to the mountains for a snow trip.  they loved it! except for callan crying "it's on me!!" whenever snow touched her and ely complaining that her jacket was zipped too high it was a successful trip.  i don't know how people do this in the midwest and elsewhere! we were in it for a day and i don't want to go back until next year! it is SO much work!

i took the kids to lacma (los angeles county museum of art) after the tar pits for a couple of hours and the kids got to paint their own masterpieces.
