Day at Mt Baldy

We spent the day at Mt Baldy today to let Cael experience his first snow.
After a quick stop at Denny's for a hearty breakfast this morning, we made our way up the mountains. Armed with a snow sled and layers of clothing, we started our journey through the treacherous snow covered mountain. Our first stop has us running back to our car because the wind was blowing so hard and it was so cold. Cael was not enjoying his first experience. Especially after the husband and child fell from the sled trying to avoid running head on into a little boy who had no control over his sled speeding down the slope. Cael did not suffer from the fall because his loving dad broke the fall and suffered injury to his hand and lost his watch in the process. And you might want to know where Cael's mom was in the midst of all this happening. Cael and Dad had 'sled' away leaving mom to try to catch up on feet. Unfortunately, it was so slippery that Mom fell 4 times in the process of trying to get to them, thereby suffering painful bruise.
So after runnign back to the car and taking a break from the cold and falls, we decided to go to another spot where it is less 'slopey' and windy. We found the perfect spot and that was where we spent the rest of our time with no more accidents.
To end an almost perfect day, on our way back from the mountain, we saw some airplane stunts. I tried to capture it on video and I did...but we were in a moving vehicle and therefore the short clip does not do justice to what we saw. I will try to post the video here as soon as I have downloaded it on YouTube.
In the meantime, here are some pictures to speak a 1000 words.
