Winter Wonderland

We rented a cabin for a week in the Methow Valley.  The air was crisp (-13 degrees when we woke up on Saturday) and clear and the snow was pure powder and terrific!  We spent our days snowshoeing, XC skiing, and sledding, and our nights sipping hot cocoa and warming ourselves by the fire.

This kind neighbor groomed our own private XC ski trails every day and pulled the boys for a sled ride.

Perfect day for snowshoeing at frozen Pearrygin Lake.

Happy anniversary to us!

On their own skiing adventure - no adults (except the overbearing mom who had to get just one picture).


Very last sled run with Elsa.

Our morning snowshoe hike before heading back over the mountains.
Happy 2016!
