Snow In February

We got about a foot of snow last week (the end of February) which is super fun for the first and second days and then a drag after that. After you get all of your snowmen and sledding out of the way the snow just gets annoying. Maybe I'm bitter because we live on a giant hill OR maybe it's because spring is supposed to be around the corner. Either way, snow is a temporary best friend.

The first day of real snow we went sledding. As soon as we got to the hill it started snowing heavily. In the 45 minutes we were there, Mt. Vernon got another foot of snow on top of what was left over from the morning. It made me wish that I had brought my snowboarding goggles with me. Eric and I built a jump for everyone to use because what good is sledding unless you have to perform the tuck and roll?

Jump: Not very large but with the speed we were getting, everyone went about a foot in the air (Eric more for some reason - face first?)

"Sled-boarding": My mom thought that standing on the sled and going down the hill was a fantastic idea. That went well. Behold: the tuck and roll.

Finally, a post-sledding picture:

They Won!

Last Friday the boy's basketball team FINALLY won the district championship vs. Squalicum. This Friday, they have to play a regional game to get their seed for the state tournament.

District Basketball

My little brother and his team are playing for the district title on Friday. Wish them luck! They want a good ranking for the state tournament.

I snapped a photo of Will and Eric talking to the radio stations after qualifying for state on Monday:

Back To WA

Here are some of my favorite pictures from the cross country drive back to Washington.

Kayak

I'm home now and have been for a week so the posts are going to slow down a bit. I did want to share this picture though. I was allowed to kayak with Calvin and Malabar before I left and this photo was one of my favorites.
