The last weekend..


The last weekend was definitely the highlight of the month for us. As a family we drove to Seattle then dropped Tyson off with Grandma Patrick. Jason and I continued on to Snoqualmie Pass to stay at the cabin of some good friends. To get to the cabin in the winter requires snowshoeing (or cross country skiing) in about 1.5 miles. It was a relaxing weekend for us, no schedule to keep, though we found ourselves going to bed early and waking up around normal Tyson time...but it was nice to relax and read, hike a little and sit in front of the wood stove fire. :O) Jada had a blast being a snow dog, she had such a great time bounding through the snow that she was limping for a few days after...

We did a short hike to the nearby lake on Saturday.

Crossing the bridge. As you can see -- the snow level is a few feet above the handrails!

What a cozy cabin! Thanks Hamiltons for letting us use it!

Tyson had a good time with his Grandma. He was smitten with all the cars that my brother and I used to play with as a kid. She had kept them for just a moment like this! :O) Thanks mom for watching him!

When we first got into town we were able to swing by Everett and visit Carmen and Jonathan, who had just welcomed Baby Bethany Ruth to their family!! Carmen doesn't yet have a blog to show off her pictures...we'll keep asking her to start one though. :O)
