In case you didn't notice, it has been snowing in the mountains. A LOT. Forgetting for a moment that Northwesterners are typically fickle snow-lovers who get so so so excited for the first snow, only to watch it all melt away in the next week's rains, we were enchanted. The Barker family wanted to see and feel and taste snow and we wanted to do it yesterday.
Given a plan-less Saturday, there was nothing else to do. It was time for a family hike with a toddler dressed like a cow. Or a dalmatian, take your pick.
And how was it?
It was so fantastic. It DUMPED snow all day long. It dumped so much, in fact, that we skipped the baby sledding session and headed to the coffee shop instead. Of course, we went on a snow hike before-hand and reveled in the wonderful, beautiful snow.
I love snow. I really, REALLY love snow.
