There was a big storm predicted to hit camp early Tuesday morning, and since the kids and I had two early morning appointments in Fresno this week and were already planning to visit Dad and Mom, we left a day early to beat the storm. There were a few flurries of snow as we packed the van Monday morning, but we only got rain on the drive. The storm hit as hard as predicted, and Joshua kept us updated with pictures as the snow fell.
It was much more snow than we usually get in one storm, and more than Joshua or I have seen at camp.
Meanwhile, the kids and I were enjoying rain in the valley. During a break in the storm, Dad took the kids down to check out the creek. We were disappointed to miss all the snow at camp, but thankful not to miss our appointments and glad to spend time with Dad and Mom.
It snowed even more on Thursday. That evening, Joshua went snowshoeing down to Sherwood.
By Friday the storm had passed after dropping about five feet of snow on camp.
We returned home early Friday afternoon.
Some of the staff were working on making sled runs for winter camp, which started Friday evening. We were glad to help test them out.
