Snow fun

Yesterday we headed up the mountain to play in the snow!  My friend Cathy invited us to go with her two girls and the kids had more fun eating and playing in the snow, than sledding.  The hill was short, so the hike back up was not too bad!  It was perfect for the littler ones but, Taylor and Todd were wanting a bit more excitement.  Taylor is trying to stand and ride like a snow board.  She wants a board so badly!  She has taken the wheels off of one of her skateboards and tried to use it in our yard when we had snow, but forgot to bring it to the mountain with her.  Next time...

Here the kids are climbing on the snow plowed snow bank next to the toilets!  And having a blast!
This is our friend and Bryant on the left. I am taking the photo downhill from about mid way up.

Two weeks ago when we were all flooded out and stranded in the Seattle, this avalanche happened.  Look at the dark area above the buildings in the middle.  It took out houses and a ski lift on the left of the clearing.
