Lake Almanor with the Family

Guess what, we got very excited because FINALLY we had a big snow! What a difference a day can make. We probably got 2-3 feet of snow overnight. Rilyn was so anxious to get out a make a snowman and play.
Here's Auntie Hollie keeping Boo-Boo warm while the rest of us enjoyed watching Rilyn and Gramps out in the snow.This is a view of what we woke up to on our 3rd day up at the cabin. It was so beautiful and always fun to be the first tracks made in fresh snow.
Can you tell Rilyn was having a blast in the snow. She loved throwing it up in the air and watching it fall down.
Unfortunately the snow was so dry it was hard to pack, therefore this was the best snowman Gramps and Rilyn could make. At least she was able to finally make the hugely anticipated snowman, with a carrot nose and fruit snacks for eyes.
Rilyn and Grandpa decided to go for an "animal adventure" and follow the deer tracks. She explained to Grandpa that if they followed the tracks they would find where the deer live. I think they were out in the snow for over an hour, thank you to Gramps since the rest of us wanted to stay inside where it was nice and warm!
