The USA's Southernmost Ski Resort

It rained on Tuesday.  Then again on Thursday.  Then, just around the city on Friday.  This meant that it snowed up in the Catalina and Rincon mountains.  SNOW!  My FIL had suggested we go play on the mountain and have a picnic for his birthday (2/5), but it didn't work out that weekend so we put it off.  Here was the perfect opportunity, the perfect timing (because the mountain road was open even though there was snow - they usually close it), and we decided to go.  It was awesome!  The girls loved playing in the snow (though E kept trying to sit in it), we got to see the southernmost ski resort in the USA (I've gotta go back sometime, it looked awesome!), and we had a great time together as a family (us plus my in-laws).  My husband kept to his normal self and wore sandals in the snow.  Just...yeah.  Here are the pictures!
