sunshine and snow days

We enjoyed a gorgeous 'blue bird' day up at Mount Hood Meadows last week.  Sunshine and snow (not the best,  but just good enough - although it has heaps now) and such blue skies. Great skiing and the kids got to try out a couple of new runs.  Loving it.







No filter or adjustments were made to this blue sky!  So lucky.

And today is a Snow Day.  Schools are closed around here.  Snow started late yesterday morning and continue until well into the night  The kids could hardly wait to get outside after breakfast today and had made plans with neighbors and school friends for a sleding gathering.  They have been outside sleding and playing for hours today.  As the afternoon ended, they came in for a movie, popcorn and anything else they could find to eat!  More snow has been falling since late afternoon and will continue all night. Blustery and heavy.  Looks like our weekend will involve a lot of fun outdoors, followed by hot chocolates and gluhwein and cosy evenings in by the fire. Feels almost Christmassy (apart from no tree!).




Happy snow weekend.
