Vacation: Mammoth 2011

I couldn't have asked for a better way to start 2011. Got up early to go the the Rose Parade (my 25th straight year! Well, unless you count the year I was in my mom's tummy, then it's 26 straight years!) and then Mammoth! It's so nice to be able to visit my uncle and just relax in the snowy winter wonderland.

This one icicle on the back of my uncle's cabin was almost 2 stories tall!

For some reason I've always thought the outlet stores parking lot is so pretty in the winter....

Mammoth had a record snowfall the week before we showed up! They set the record for the most snow in the world!

This picture isn't so great, mainly because I was trying to keep a dog still while holding up my camera and just shooting, but I love how you can barely see the sign because of the snow!

From the walkway next to the stores you could look out and see gorgeous icicle formations.

We really wanted to see Mono Lake in the snow. Unfortunately the paths weren't cleared so we had to forge our own! Fun, but hard!

Before we left we had to go sledding! Even the dogs got in on the fun :)

Pixie wouldn't go into the deep snow, so we decided to make her. I swear she was enjoying it! That's just the way she jumps....
