January Light

Here are a few favorite photos from a recent January outing.

The colors of winter.

Hope you all had a lovely month.  Let's turn the calendar page!

First Ski

The Gorge has been socked in all week with low clouds and chilly temperatures, so today we decided to break out above the inversion and get a little playtime in the snow and sunshine.

We took Jonah up to Mt. Hood Meadows for his first adventure on skis.

Jonah was a little nervous, but also very excited.

"Hands out, bend your knees, lean forward...."

Jonah took instruction very well.

Note that Jonah is not even wearing a jacket!  It was 50 degrees and bluebird skies.

We didn't stay long, but this trip was all about making sure he was having fun while getting familiar with the new gear.

Afterwards, we played a bit in the snow.

JUMP!

SNOWBALL!

....and back to the land of frost and fog....

Winter Break

Here are a few pictures from our most recent trip out to Flathead Lake.  

We enjoyed a lovely, restful vacation with family.

We saw lots of geese.

Everyone got a post-turkey nap.

Making silly smiles for Grand Dad.

It's always nice to see the beautiful Gorge as we head home.

Jeep Nostalgia

Our Jeep Wrangler has facilitated many adventures.  We have loved it!  Whether we were exploring the back roads of Baja, trekking to Grand Canyon mountain bike rides, hauling tubes to float the Klickitat, returning to a trail head after a long ski trip, or camping on remote BLM land, the Jeep was a reliable workhorse for all that we asked.
After having a baby, we made the tough decision to own something a little more family friendly and safe.  We sold our sweet Jeep this summer...here's a look back on of some of our favorite Jeep moments.

Thanks for all the wonderful memories!
