I thought it's time we started over after the snafu on our blog late last year. Lots going on with the girls in 2013 that we want to share with everyone. First, we spent a week in Kauai with the Johnson family in February. This was our second annual trip and we had a blast, the perfect weather during "winter" in Hawaii didn't hurt either.
Another beach, Seattle style! I've had time this year to explore Puget Sound with the girls, mainly day trips when Fran has to work. We're at Carkeek Park in north Seattle (above and below). Erin likes the shells in the tide pools, and Nora's favorite are the trains that run between the beach and the rest of the park.
This weekend, I took the girls to the Cascades for a day of sledding and fun in the snow. We ended up at a sno-park in Hyak, just east of Snoqualmie Pass. Here they are in what was left of a snow fort. Pretty sure Nora's smiling because she just finished what Erin's doing!
Nora looks ready to push on to the summit. Actually, it was sunny and ~45 degrees up there...
Erin loved zooming down the hill on our $10 pink Fred Meyer sled all by herself, and I loved the result of her making a dozen treks back up to the top-- a long nap in the car on the way home. Our last activity before lunch was to make a snowman. Nora's an impressive bodyguard (below). Erin talked a lot about wanting to learn to downhill ski, maybe we'll get her a lesson yet this winter. Next up, we're heading to the Washington coast in early April.
