Hands on children's museum

Today we went to the museum. The kids had a blast, so did we. The displays are amazing. It is a place you can get lost in for hours.

Seattle aquarium

We took Nicole Hailey Dayna Devin Layla Adelyn MADI Lori and Bart to the aquarium . It was an incredibly fun time! The kids loved it so did we. My highlight was watching the kids have so much fun. We then had seafood and went home! It is so fun being together. It would be nice to all be together as a family but it gets hard when we get spread out.

Christmas Eve

Our traditional nativity scene. I don't know where this tradition started but we do it every year as we read the Christmas story.

Christmas party

We had our party this year at anthonies. It was fun. We are very fortunate to have such an incredible staff!

Tree hunting we came across 2 corn people.

Lena lake

Pretty hike. Here is the lake and a log bridge. This is in the Hama Hama area.

Mt rose

8th trip to the summit. Nice cold day sunny, hike up was nice then about 3500 ft patches of snow. At the top it was very overcast. I changed to dry shirt. Out of no where wind came up and pea size round flakes of snow came down. Almost immediately the ground was covered. I started back down and the snow level increased to about two inches. I had crampons thank goodness. I made down to 2500ft where snow stopped. It was a different world there. For me a peaceful and beautiful one. These are the pictures before the. I got out of there and headed down when snow stared. I have never seen snow so heavy so fast.
