Charlie Mountain

On New Year's Day we took the boys up to Mt. Charleston or Charlie Mountain as Carson called it to play in the snow. We rented a little cabin up at the lodge and spent the night. Carson was so cute, he kept telling me he was so excited. The first day up there was frustrating and crowded, the roads up to the snow play area were closed so we spent the day driving around and getting nowhere. So we just checked in to the cabin and went to dinner at the Lodge. That night the boys snuggled up on the recliner chair and watched Peter Pan (or Peter Man in Carson speak) together. The next morning we got up early and went sledding. We found a campsite where someone had built a snow fort and the boys had fun playing in that and having snow ball fights. When they got tired we loaded up the car and came home.
