I have been patiently waiting to blog anything until I could tell you all of our amazing Mammoth adventures (yes, I know it was like three weeks ago) and upload all of my beautiful pictures. Unfortunately, the technical gods have not been shining on me lately and I have officially lost all my pics and completely destroyed my memory card for my camera. I am trying really hard not to be overly bummed out by this. I am also trying really hard not to strangle the people at Sammy's camera or the makers of the SD picture card. Apparently what happened to my card is not unusual, because there are thousands of posts online by people who have had similar issues. I will not admit how many suggestions I read through, but sadly must confess that I did try three outrageous Macgyver moves to try to mend my card with no success. So even though I don't have pictures to show and it has been forever since our trip, I will still fill you in on the details.
First of all, I don't know why I was worried that there wasn't going to be any snow. I have never seen so much in my life! My kids were in snow heaven. Bennett has declared that he officially wants to move to Mammoth, and Kendall's favorite new food is snow. We had such a good time sledding and riding the Gondola. No skiing for us (major budget buster - how do people do that?) but we had a ton of fun. And one of the biggest highlights was the gorgeous place we stayed at that had 2 sets of stairs which of course meant free rides for my kids. It is amazing how much fun a staircase can be when you are in slippery snow gear and you are not old enough to feel/realize the damage you are causing to your tailbone. It was definitely a much needed vacay for our family, and I am hoping and praying that we are invited back to do it again someday. I have heard that they are predicting the ski runs will be open until July this year, can you imagine that?
