1/23/2010 Sledding with Daddy and Uncle Dewey

Saturday
Mircea, Bryan, Uncle Dewey and a friend of Dewey's went sledding.
You can tell it was fun! Cea still isn't all that fond of going fast though! You may note that Cea and Dewey have the same brand of hat.

12/29/2009 Bryan and Porsche go snowshoeing without snow

Tuesday
We found a baby sitter for our kids, and had the plan to go snowshoeing again. Unfortunately, there was no snow (well, little snow) where we wanted to go. However, as it was a nice day, we decided that we would hike instead of snowshoe. So, while it was a bummer that we couldn't use our equipment, it was a fun day. The trail itself was covered in many places with fallen trees, etc, so that made life a bit exciting trying to climb across.


The start of the trail.
Bryan just bought the sled, and created his own harness to make it into a pulk.
He decided to pull all our stuff, just in case we ran into snow.

Pulling the pulk without any snow

This fallen tree we could climb under.
I wasn't such a fan of those we had to crawl over, as it was slippery.

Lunch time

A pretty waterfall close to where we ate

Crossing a "bridge" finally seeing some snow
I had already bailed, as I couldn't get across some blown down trees.
(The pulk stayed with me.)

The end of the trail.

12/25/2009 Christmas Day Sledding

Friday Christmas Day.
Bryan and Mircea head out to go sledding. Wish Casper and I could have gone with them! However, once they got to the sledding area, Mircea didn't really want to sled, so they went hiking instead.

Ready for sledding




PB&J the perfect sandwich after all that work!

12/19/2009 Snowshoeing with Candy and Steve

Saturday
We have snowshoes, and then we found out, so do Candy and Steve. Therefore, we all decided we should go snowshoeing together. It was a fun day out on the mountain (Rainier). Pretty much our goal was just to let Candy and Steve get used to their snowshoes, and how they work. It was a lot more crowded today then the first time Bryan and I went snowshoeing here. We had a good time chatting, and walking along. We also had a great lunch of summer sausage, bagels, cheddar cheese, and some fruit. We shall have to do this again!

Bryan digging (as usual)

Candy and Porsche (taking a break from chatting to pose for a picture)

Candy getting ready to take the group photo, which involved clicking the button, and then frantically trying to get over to the group amidst hysterical laughter. The following is the resulting group photo!. . . However, as I am still waiting for a copy from Candy, so I will post the picture when I get it. . .

Snow Week

December 19,20, 22, 2008


Bry went out and bought Cea new Snow Boots.
They are pink and black--and she picked them out.




Spending some time indoors next to the fire.
(snow wasn't all that exciting to Casper)

Cea and Porsche spend time outside--here is the start of the snowman. She was a great help!


The finished project.

Off to the backyard--it is hard to bounce!

Heading back to the front yard


Aaaaaaaaaaaaaah!

Daddy went to fast, this is more like it!

Snow Day

(So you might be wondering why I am blogging about past events.--well, we never got to share it with Daka and Grumpy before--so now is our opportunity.)

SNOW WEEK:
December 18, 2008

We got a lot of snow (stop laughing all you people from Alaska, the midwest, and the east) maybe I will add to my sentence--we got a lot of snow FOR US here in western WA. So here are the pics of the 18th, when Bry and Cea went out into the snow. Then that evening, we had 2 of our workers join us to spend the night. We ate a dinner of sauerkraut pizza and were talking about the snow, and somehow it came up about how much fun it would be to go sledding. . . so we did!

Getting all the snow clothes on!


Bye Mom and Casper

Cea has the right idea on how to go up a hill when it snows.
I don't envy Bryan his job!


After dinner we all head out to sled.
Here is Heidi and Cea

As we walked up to the sledding hill, Bryan started heading down the hill.


Here is Courtney heading down the hill. . .

The hill


The Race!

Porsche and Cea (This sled went the slowest--which Cea preferred!)


Cea and Bry in a sled that didn't work out so well as a sled.

I believe the comment was made here at the top of the hill, "I would love to go one more time--but I don't think I want to climb the hill again!" (we did all go down once more anyway, and huffed and puffed our way back up. It was too fun not too!)

Snow Angel Time


Can you tell it was fun!?!?!?!


It was quite sad when Courtney and Heidi left the next day!
I thought they were quite brave with all the driving in the snow.
I stayed home and didn't go anywhere unless Bryan was driving.
