The next day, Saturday, we drove up into the Western Sierra’s for some snow time! We ended up in the Shaver Lake area which is South of Yosemite National Park. We were very excited to go “play” in the snow, as this was the boys first snow experience. We attempted a trek up to Huntington Lake first which is at a higher elevation but decided to return back down the hill after multiple hilarious attempts at parking. With my courageous wife at the wheel, and several “locals” watching the “city slickers”, we tried to park our feeble 2-wheel drive mini-van with no tire-chains in an icy, snowy parking lot… let’s just say it provided for some great comedy! From there we went to the closest sno-park and had a great time. We were especially excited when the white, powdery stuff that apparently is called “snow” started falling from the sky. After a great time playing and sliding we headed back down the hill. On the way, I captured one of my favorite images of Shaver Lake, see below.

On our final day in Fresno, we spent some time at a local park. It was a joy to be able to get Bev, Ashley and Luke in front of my lens. Of course I also took some pics of my sons as well. There was one moment that was pretty hilarious. While I was taking photos of my sister and her kids. I turn around and see the silhouette of a little boy peeing against a tree. It looked pretty funny and endearing, so I proceeded to grab a few pics. Apparently Jaden didn’t think it was too funny because he was VERY mad at me! “Daddy, I don’t like that”.. “Daddy, why did you do that” etc etc. Ultimately I promised him that I would NEVER take pics of him peeing in public again. Please enjoy a few of my favorite grabs from the weekend below..
