It was New Year’s Eve, we decided to drive up to Mountain High for some snow play. There was no traffic at all so it took about 1 and 1/2 hours to get there. There was lots of snow and cold as expected. William enjoyed playing with the snow: he carried the small Eiffel tower with him and played with it on the snow.
For lunch, we set up a little table and benches to cook instant noodle and heat up the hot dogs for William. He wanted to eat noodle but it was so spicy. He also enjoyed drinking hot chocolate with marshmallows.
He loved the snow so much that he did not want to leave but we have to leave early to avoid traffic: we left the mountain around 2:30 PM; William felt asleep on the way home.
Sunday early morning. It was raining for the last few days, and the news said it was snowing on the mountains so we decided at the last minute (on Saturday) to drive up there and enjoy some snow. Mostly because we know William loves to play with snow so much. We left house around 7:00 AM; William woke up when I tried to get him dress; I gave him a bottle of milk to drink on the way to pick up grandma and his aunt and cousins Bryan and Victoria. Aunt Eliza brought some chocolate donuts so William had some.
Before turning to Hwy 138, we stopped by at McDonald for restroom break. I bought some hash brown but William refused to eat.
There was just a little traffic when we passed by Wrightwood town. The parking lot for the West and East Mountain High resorts are full so we had to park on the street and had to walk a bit to get to the play area. (People parked on the sections that have the sign No Parking; we should know that they don’t enforce it in the days like this (so many cars, there’s no way they can tow them all) and park like other people so that we didn’t have to walk far).
At some point William didn’t want to walk so I had to carry him. High altitude really makes one tired easily.
William loved to play with the snow too much, he kept running around; we had a hard time keeping up with him.
Around noon, he was tired and just wanted to sit; that was when we decided to leave.
William must be hungry that he grasped the chocolate bags and ate them; he felt asleep moments later; but he woke up when we stopped by at the same McDonald for lunch. I bought fish sandwich but he only had a few bites of the bread and then asked for chocolate donuts. And after that a few french fries while watching Minions on his little phone until we got home around 2:30 PM.

William loves to hang around the fire. These folks are nice enough to move over so that he could get near the fire.
