On the road again...

Scoping out a new track and the potential for big air.

The sledding boys.

Even with all of the snow and excitement, Connor remembered still took time to be Jenn's kissaroo.

I found a slope and tried it out.

Jennifer and Connor went down with Tahoe close behind. Tahoe loved sledding as much as the rest of us.

Connor wanted to try it on his own.

And again on his own. This boy definitely has the same snow fever that I do.

The gang chillin at the top of the slope

Two years ago on January 14th, Connor was born. How time flies!

2 year old Con man opening presents on his birthday morning.

Connor helped make his own birthday cake. What a big help!

Samantha (and the whole Papas family) came to help Connor celebrate his birthday. They both finally decided they could share the chair.

Jennifer and I can't believe it was two years ago!

Everyone got to make their own pizzas for dinner. Owen took the prize for Tallest Topping Tower, Samantha was the eXtreme pizza girl, and Connor worked out a 2 for 1 deal with Jennifer while making the pizza: 2 toppings on the pizza, 1 in my mouth.

Samantha, Connor, and Owen with bellys full of pizza and birthday cake.

Grandma and Grandpa came the weekend after to celebrate. Connor was thrilled as you can see from the grin.

The boys in the car on the way to see the snow.

Here I am, walking in the snow a the top of TV Tower Road. We had heard that you can drive up here, but it was a little sketchy doing it for the first time in snow and rain. The road was pretty beat up and washed out and the steep sides didn't help the enthusiasm of my passengers. But then we saw a Honda Civic plowing through the mud and thought we should probably suck it up.

From TV Tower Road looking down at the north end of Cuesta Grade with all of the snow. So cool.

I never thought I'd see the day, but it snowed here in Templeton, CA, and on much of the Central Coast. What a sight!

I decided to get us all in the winter/snow spirit with a well placed snowball.

Proof that it was actually sticking once it hit the ground.

and on the car.

Snow falling

We need to get this boy out more... an umbrella in the snow???

Of course, this being the California coast, the sun was soon to follow. I'm posting this from my laptop while sunning outside in shorts, a tshirt, and flip flops, sipping ice cold lemonade to cool me down ;)

I thought this was pretty neat:

Allows people to put a mark on a world map where they are.

I suggested this site to Leslie and Mike to create their own map for their world travels (you can make your map read only so that only you can add markers, but everyone else can view them).
