Snow 121109-121309

It has been 3 years we didn't go up the mountains to play with snow. So, last Dec '09 we went to Camp Sierra in Fresno for our 1st snow season. We had a blast time there with other friends that joined us for the weekend. The 1st day, we didn't do any sledding coz we lost 1 of the snow chain on the tire...didn't know it came off till my hubby stopped the van to examined it. Then by the time we got a new chain....the road already slippery due to the icy road and we couldn't go to the sno-park area. It was snowing all day till the next morning. Luckily the 2nd day the weather was beautiful and we had a great time sledding at the campsite and then before we went back home we stopped at the sno-park to play again. Can't wait to go again next month....

Camp Mendocino

Last Friday, my family and I went camping with other Muslims from the center that we always go to for prayers. This was our 7th Annual Camping trip. This year we went to Camp Mendocino. It's north of San Francisco and it's about 3 1/2 hours drive from my house. It was such a lovely camp ground. Besides the camp ground, it has a railroad track. The trains goes from Willits - Northspur - Fort Bragg. There's also a river where you can swim and kayaking. They had a photo contest and I won 3rd place :). We really enjoyed the camp. Can't wait to go again in September.
