Spring Break: Instagram Style

Spring break came later than most schools but the kids school are very consistent in having their spring break the 2nd week of April.

I think I dropped the ball on telling H about the spring break dates because he wasn't able to get the time off but he said go ahead and take the kids on our annual Mammoth Lakes trip.

So off we went for 5 days to enjoy the mountains, snow and nature. :) It really is a great place to go. I made a conscious decision to leave my DSLR home and use my iPhone and my Canon A-1. It was definitely a learning experience.

I still have to finish up the roll of film in the A-1 so here are my Instagram photos to give you an idea of our trip.

Wednesday at Mammoth Mountain.

With the later spring break, we were to able to enjoy the mountain with very little crowds. It was great. The kids are both learning snowboarding and it helps so much when they don't have to worry about people whizzing by them.

The first night/day there was some light snow so that was kind of fun. I think Tyler enjoys scraping the snow off the truck in a very limited way since it was sort of the one time thing. :) Thankfully, the new snow melted and I didn't have to deal with tire chains.

Our first morning.

The rest of the week was great. The weather was mild and sunny and the kids made some progress on their snowboarding. I'm pretty sure that Mammoth will be open until June so maybe we can squeeze another trip in there. :)
