New Years at Lake Almanor

We decided to head up to Lake Almanor for the last few days of 2010 to relax and play in the snow.  Ellie had never been to the snow, so we thought this would be a great opportunity.

And as I type this, it is New Years Day and it snowed about 4 inches last night.  That to go along with plenty of snow that was already here, I’m hoping we are able to get out tomorrow (fingers crossed).

The drive over the mountains wasn’t too bad, although we could only go about 30 MPH, so the usual 90 minute drive took much longer.  But, we didn’t have to put on chains which was a GREAT thing!

And once we got here everything was great.  The dogs loved the snow, although all the running and playing aggravated Sierra’s leg injury, so we many need to visit the vet when we get home.  Ellie is having a great time too.  The driveway is the perfect sled run!  And Megan joined us for the trip, so Katelyn and her have been  having a lot of fun together.

Other then that, it’s been a nice visit to the snow.  Chopping wood for the wood stove, layering the clothes for afternoons in the snow, plenty of cards and games, and plenty of time to relax.

We’ll see if we are able to get out tomorrow. Happy New Year.
