On Sunday we took the first snowy trip (keep it broad because we vacillate between snowshoes and cross country skis) of the year and had a great time! On our way up we grabbed a bite to eat in Hood River, and Dani laughed so hard she started crying and then really started crying. Neither of us know what was so funny, or what was then so sad/ emotional. Chalk it up to baby taking the helm for a moment.
After about a half hour of plodding around in knee deep snow we had the requisite snowball fight, made some yellow snow and headed back refreshed. The tranquility of being in the snow muted forest is my second favorite part of living here in the winter. The other being that the snow is on our terms: we visit it, instead of it haunting us for months. And when it does make its way down to the lowlands of Portland it is hilarious pandemonium that shuts down the city. To me this is a win-win. (see photos in the bar on the right)-->
Very cool, thats a lot of snow. I could make some coin plowing that! Should be able to enjoy one extreme to the other in about 2 weeks. Love you guys, Mike (1 of the Dad's)
