Snowshoeing

Since Monday was MLK day, Annaliese didn't have school and Kyle didn't have to work. We decided to take advantage of the day and head up towards Mt. Baker to go snowshoeing. As we passed through Maple Falls, we decided that maybe we should head to Silver Lake instead of driving all the way up to the snow park. When you're not quite sure how the kiddos are going to do, the shorter drive tends to sound more appealing!

It proved to be a good decision! The ground was covered with snow but was hard enough that we didn't actually need snowshoes. We wanted the girls to try them, though, and Annaliese actually did quite well with hers! Haleigh was not a fan! She just stood there crying and saying, "I can't. I can't."

They both enjoyed walking out on the frozen lake a little ways, sledding down a small hill on an old sled we found lying around and playing on the playground.

Lydia's first time sledding!

Who says you need a sled to go sledding?

Don't worry...he didn't fall. He was just playing around!  

She still said she was having fun!!
