Snoqualmie Pass Snowshoe and Snowslide, January 7, 2012

Mom and Dad finally realized that being stuck in a car seat for 1+ hours followed by being stuck in a carrier on someone's back for 3 hours and back in a car seat again probably wasn't as fun for Tiger Lily as it was for them.  So for this snow trip we took Tiger Lily out of the pack so she could have some fun in the snow too.

We are at the Snoqualmie Pass Mountaineers Campus for the "Winter Trails Day" snowshoe event.

New Years Eve (Day) 2012

The family packed up the jalopy and headed to the hills for the 3rd and final snowshoe trip for 2011.  The weather was perfect the snow nice and fluffy off the trail and nicely packed on the trail.  We went to the Nordic Center at Stevens Pass.  We'll be returning in 2012!

First Annual Family Christmas Tree Hunt!

Along with adding a new member to the family (Tiger Lily) we've also been trying new traditions this year. Here's one that turned out well in the end, though it was touch-and-go for awhile... click the picture for a 13 picture slide show, and here to see all 13 at once.

Playing in the snow

Beth and Tiger Lily drove up to the snow on Snoqualmie Pass on Saturday with our friends Jason, Jodie, and Rosie.  We stomped around a bit then found a closed but unlocked restaurant at the lodge that had been taken over by families with grumpy, cold babies.  We ate lunch and chased the kids around.  One little boy thought that TL (who was focused on crawling and oblivious to everything else) was a perfect horsey to ride!  Looking forward to many more snowy adventures this winter!
