SNOW

Anna, Kate - SNOW!

Here in the Pacific Northwest in Washington State we don’t get too much Snow. Maybe a few days every winter (6 inches at most). The last 3 days we’ve had a few inches each day and we’re looking at about 8 inches. This means my kids and their friends make the most of it and build snow forts, snow men and snow balls…

Boys against Girls Snow Fight!

Blizzard like out there today – we’ll be staying indoors! I’ll be playing with my new Food Processor and an old version of Photoshop. Believe it or not, I’ve never used Photoshop before and it looks like Greek to me! But it looks like a lot of fun once I figure it out…Wish me luck!

Canoeing at Silver Lake

My canoeing obsession becomes a reality!

Silver Lake

Summer Time.

So, if you’ve been following my blog for a while, you know I had an obsession with the idea of canoeing in a red canoe. Preferably last fall when the leaves would have been red, orange, yellow, brown, etc. However, that dream did not happen. Early Summer we took the family with some other family: fun cousins. - to Silver Lake in Maple Falls, WA. We’ve been there before and we knew the price was right for renting a canoe. (I think it was around $8 for 1/2 hour or hour).

I’m so glad I was in the canoe with my very strong brother in-law and my niece. There was quite a strong current and at one point we went in circles about 4 times before we figured out how to maneuver the craft. The canoe was deep green which was beautiful. but I still have an obsession with red canoes.
