Snow Better Time for Winter Break!

I've only been in Washington for 6 winters, but there hasn't been this much snow ever before (you know, since we've lived here). The kids had 3 snow days even before their Christmas (eh-hem, I mean, Winter) break began from school. Since our front yard is steep, the neighborhood kids loved it, and made a great path for sledding and snow-boarding.

Gabe's 13th birthday was on 12/28, and he wanted to go snow boarding or snow tubing as a family. (Yea! He still wants to spend time with us!) It was much cheaper to do the tubing, so we headed up to Snoqualmie and did a 2-hr session with the rope tow. The kids had a blast!

On News Year's Day we went to the Pacific Science Center. My favorite part was buying caramel popcorn from a vendor outside!
