Where's the sunshine?

The one thing I absolutely can't stand in winter is a nasty inversion. We are what, a week plus into this one? I see on the news the pictures from Bogus and it is sunny and 45 and just looks beautiful!!! Let me tell you it's killing me!!!! So today as a nice Sabbath family outing, after loading up on a wonderful meal, we headed up the hill. Just in case your unfamiliar with inversions here is just a shot from the car on the way up. Just nasty no color grey! It was about 34 degrees here in the valley and as we traveled into the clouds it was 25!!! BURRRRR Everything was covered in thick frost.

See. It does make everyting look a little prettier though doesn't it? Right about 5,000 feet we broke out of the clouds and Oh the Sunshine!!! It was so beautiful!

The temperature began to creep up and the sun warmed the car and ooooh it felt SO good! The girls had fun throwing snow and exploring. I could have just stood there and let the sun soak through me the whole time!! Time goes quickly when you are having fun....

It was a great day, however all good things must come to an end, sigh.

What a great idea. Mental note to remember for our next inversion. Spencer has been feeling the same kind of yuck. He does not do well without the sun. The kids looked like they had a great time and the pictures were awesome.
