Dear Giuliana: Your First Trip to the Snow!

Hi Love Love. This past weekend we took you on your first trip to the snow up to Big Bear. We rented a cabin for Auntie Charline's birthday with some friends and took off for a long holiday weekend. We're still working on potty training, but for the most part you're doing so well! You didn't sleep in the car of course, which was what we were hoping for, but then again you skipped naps for the rest of the weekend anyway. We took you out on the deck as soon as we got there, only to find out your snow boots were too small. High top Chucks it was! It was so fun to see your face and watch you play in it so curiously. The back part of the house had a hill so we make a sled trail. I think we had more fun than you because we kept falling off trying not to go through the fence. Then you tried to go down on your stomach. Who are you girl! We also took you to go snow tubing and one of the parks up there. It was packed, but we knew you would love it. It was like the grown up version of Winter Wonderland at Petco Park. I watched on the sidelines as you and Dad took your tube up the hill. You would sit in it and let him pull you up and I thought that was hilarious. I snuck in for the last run and we held our tubes together and took the greatest video of us! You didn't stop smiling and asked to go again when we got to the bottom. I love that you are a little thrill seeker and are not scared of a thing. I hope it stays that way! Other than that, we relaxed, watched movies, and chased you around the cabin. It was a great little getaway and I can't wait to go again. Next year we're getting you on a snowboard girlfriend!
