We went to Mammoth Lakes last weekend for a fun little vacation. We had a great time getting away for a while and enjoying God's beautiful creation. It snowed the first night we were there and we awoke the next day to find everything white and clean. That day Ben went fishing at Rock Creek lake while Maddie and I sat in a chair in the snow keeping one another warm and watching Ben. It was Maddie's first experience in the snow and I can't say she really enjoyed her drool freezing on her little chin but she was a trooper! Later, we went to Twin Lakes where Ben fished with better success (he was happy like a little boy!) and of course Maddie and I sat on some rocks to cheer him on.
We thought we had lost our camera at Twin Lakes and looked all over for it in our car, condo, bags etc. and even drove around looking for it on the road (Ben thought he left it on the back of the truck!). Therefore, we don't have any pictures of the rest of the trip except those that we took with a disposable camera that are great for the memories but not so great aesthetically! Thankfully, the camera showed up in our bag when we got home.. whoops! We were so grateful to have our pictures and memories back.
The snow melted enough for us to go into Red's Meadow the next day and we took Maddie all over in the front pack to see Devil's Post Pile and Rainbow falls. She did so well and looked around quietly, took little naps here and there. She is such a great baby!
All in all it was a great trip! Ben's family used to go to Mammoth for their family vacations so he really enjoyed sharing that special place with his own little family today.
