We braved the winter weather to head to Portland on Wed. night. The roads were fine and we made it safely. The girls had a great time and I think this is the first year they really weren’t shy at all. We all had a good time and nice meal at Jennifer and Kelly’s and enjoyed seeing everyone again. Everyone humored me to stop and allow a photo as they were walking out the door. Not too bad.
We had our first snow in Seattle during Kayla’s Thanksgiving school week. I haven’t seen Kayla play outside that much in a long time. I couldn’t get her in. We took our sled over to our park to have fun and really did have lots of fun. The first day there was a lot of grass showing through but it didn’t slow anyone down. The next day we were treated to some really nice light fluffy snow on top of the other followed by ice underneath. Very nice sledding. The girls mostly ate snow more than anything. Who knows what all else they ate for every moment I looked they were licking their gloves to get any snow that might be one them. Both girls tried on the skis for a bit of sliding around in our yard too.
