I leave and Vegas freezes over!

So... I head home to warm and sunny California on Sunday night to begin my travels here. Then to make me even more sad about leaving everyone in Vegas it decides to snow! I have to say that I am quite furious with the weather! I was in Vegas for a whole week with no set plans before I came home to California and then the day after I leave snow begins to fall on the ground. Since I am from California and then have gone to school in Vegas, I do not have much experience with snow. Therefore it fascinates me! I love it! I mean I really love it! I was sooo bummed that Vegas gets a ton (well compared to the usual yearly snow fall) of snow and I am not even there to enjoy it and built a snowman! Due to my despair and depression I decided to go to the mountains and go sledding with my family.

Our adventure began when I ditched my grandma while having breakfast with her to head up to the snow! Yeah that is right I completely ditched her! Left her home while I went out and had some fun!

We headed on up to Lake Arrowhead to find some snow! We get half way up the mountain and some cop tells us that even though we have 4 wheel drive and snow tires on our car we cannot proceed without chains! Therefore this mad me very irritated and we had to head back down the mountain in search of some chains! After finding out that chains cost a lot of mula (aka $) we decided to just go up the mountain even if the guy tried stopping us! So we did! We are such rebels! So we finally made it to the snow! My little brother was dying to get out and touch it! It was his first time in deep snow (aka about 3 feet). We got all bundled up...

Rachel all ready for some snow! Looking HOTT!

Off to the hills/ roads we go!! We just used the roads in a residential area to sled down! Although in their defense they were great and we enjoyed them a ton!!! Only a few wipeouts, but luckily no injuries! Especially since Brett and Nate did some extreme hills and Rachel and Nate almost got ran over by a car! Yeah the lady honked but never stopped! 'Can't lose traction'

Rach and Brett after a snow fight! Isn't he precious!

Rach and I racing... she supposedly won until she stopped sledding and I kept going and ran over her head! BUAHAHAHAHAHA!

CAN WE SAY COLLISION!! Rach is lucky to be in one piece!

Rach eating some snow that Nate shoved in her face! What is a boyfriend for!

Alli and I had quite a run! and as you can see on my face we didnt have much control!

Alli and I with our sled that we searched all over for! Although it was definitely worth the search!
Well, just cause the OC doesnt get snow...... I can still head to the mountains and be in the snow in about an hour! Man I love California! Where else do you get the luxury of the beach one way and the mountains the other all within an hour or so? Don't be hating!
