Mammoth in the Summer

Early June we took a Mother/Daughter trip to Mammoth. We stayed in our family friends condo in Snow Creek. We brought the dogs, (well one of ours and Candace's dog, Chanel). They loved the mountains.

It was a wonderful, much needed, relaxing weekend away...I hope there are more in the future!!

We took 3 GREAT Hikes, we shopped, we napped and we played...YAY!!

Oh and its true what say about the Mountains
"Come for the Winter and Stay for the Summer"

I didn't want to leave....

On the Road to Mammoth...HAPPY Charlie & Happy Lindsay
