Spring has sprung...well sort of!

Spring has officially arrived, but on Friday it looked like winter around here! We have had some unseasonably cold days, which brought a little snow.   My poor Azaleas!


With the feel of winter in the air, thoughts of skiing came to mind. We decided last minute on Friday to drive up to Stevens Pass first thing Saturday morning to have what would probably be our last ski trip for the season. The amount of snow that is still around the mountain is unbelievable. The slopes are scheduled to be open until April 13th, but with 533 inches of snow this season, I bet the snow will be sticking around for awhile! Miranda and I hung out in the lodge and watched Jenna take another ski lesson, while Ian skied and explored new trails. He said that at one point in was skiing in waste deep powder snow! I think I would have been pretty scared and timid to ski any more after that.

Notice the barely visible road sign, hidden among all the snow!
After leaving the slopes, we drove to Leavenworth, where we spent the night.  Miranda loved this huge bear sitting outside a Rocky Mountain Chocolate store.  She kept hugging and kissing it and even blew kisses to it when we walked away!  And believe it or not, Jenna was a little scared of it!



We have had a few nice days so Jenna has been learning to ride her bike without training wheels. She is doing really well! It feels like yesterday that we were teaching her how to pedal a tricycle.

Enjoy the spring... hopefully it warms up this week!
