What a wonderful day!! You would think that since Aaron and I are snowboarders and we live only a few short hours (if that) to the snow that we would be up there all the time. Well I am sad to report that in the 6 years we've lived in Citrus Heights we have only been up to the snow twice. Yes, that's right, twice. It's a crime I know.

Well we were invited up to Soda Springs for Camryn's birthday party! What a GREAT place to go for a party! All the girls got free passes to the kids zone where they had lots of fun things to do. Part of the package included a free boot and board (or ski) rental. Hailee had NO hesitation and said that she wanted to learn how to snowboard (music to my ears!). Well I jumped right on that and got her all set up in gear and then we took a ride on the magic carpet. Hailee did great! She learned all the "basics" on her first trip up. How to skate, snap in and un-snap. I taught her toside and heelside stops and how to traverse. I was (and still am) SO proud to see one of my daughters enjoy snowboarding as much as I do!! After awhile I switched with Aaron and he took over with teaching Hailee.

While Aaron was snowboarding with Hailee I took Faith and Tegan tubing and they also rode the tube carousel. They had a BLAST. Of course no trip to the snow would be complete without snow angels and snowball fights. We had such an amazing day that I vow that we will be going up to the snow A LOT more!
