A Very Mammoth Easter (a little late, I know!)

So I realize that I am way behind here in the blog world!  For no good reason except that I am absolutely EXHAUSTED when I get home from work every day.  By the time we get home, make dinner, eat dinner, do bath, clean up, do bedtime routine and FINALLY sit down, I'm completely brain dead.  My brain is mush.  That said, I really want to *at least* stay on top of posting photos, so if you notice I'm not writing too much these days, well, you know why.  Just remember, mush for brain. 

We had a very untraditional first Easter together as a family.  Instead of celebrating here in sunny San Diego (as we always have) we packed up the car with my sister-in-law and our nephew and took a road trip to Mammoth.  Much to our surprise, the forecast of partly cloudy and 45-50 degree spring-like weather ended up being non-stop snow for three days straight!  We celebrated our very first white Easter! 

Maddyx is about as easy as kids come.  Especially one that's quickly approaching the age of two.  However, my very easy-going son Maddyx decided to check out on the the 7 hour car ride to and from Mammoth, and instead his very, very bad twin joined us.  Lets just say Maddyx was unhappy to *get* in his car seat upon leaving the house, and he remained unhappy to *be* in his car seat for the entire seven hour drive!  Can you imagine how fun this road trip was?!?  If not, just imagine a very high pitched *annoying* yelling in your ear for SEVEN. HOURS. STRAIGHT.  Actually I take that back...we did get a 30 minute break when he actually decided to sleep!  Mama and Daddy have decided road trips will be put on hold.  For the next 10 years!

Aside from the car rides our trip was great!  We didn't get Maddyx on the slopes this time.  Maybe next year.  We figured it might be a good idea if he perfected walking first.
