SNOW, SNOW, everywhere there's snow!!!






From Winter '08-'09
This year we were excited to find ourselves in the NW for the giant "Artic Blast!!" It was great we arrived up in Portland in the middle of their "big freeze," where temps didn't seem to get above freezing for two weeks.

And then on top of that they got over 18" of snow (I think my parent's had closer to 24") and it didn't go away for a couple of days, which is VERY unusual for the NW. This weather change gave Ryan & I a chance to show off our Colorado snow driving skills in our Subaru as we ferried people around town & enjoyed some peaceful days up at my parent's house enjoying the snow. It's amazing how in the pre-Christmas frenzy all is set aside when you can't go out & go shopping & you "have to" stay at home & just spend time with family. We enjoyed snowshoeing, sledding & "hookie-bobbing" as my Dad likes to call it. Micah & Ella play at Grandma & Grandpa's!!
