Mt. Hood

Last Wednesday my parents and a couple of my sibs came into town.  We headed up to Mt. Hood to spend a couple days in the snow!  The drive there was kinda stressful because it was snowing, but we made it!  We got there and Luke played in the snow while everyone else rented their ski gear.

After dinner Darrin, Nathan, and Kristin went over to SkiBowl to night ski.

The rest of us stay at the house and played games and ate brownies!

Thursday morning Darrin and the kids, Grandpa, Nathan, and Kristin went up to Timberline Lodge to ski.

We hired a ski instructor in our ward to teach the kids how to ski.  Josh got the hang of it pretty quick.  Andrew had harder time, but still had fun…I think.  The weather was BEAUTIFUL on the mountain which is rare.  IMG_5894IMG_5893IMG_5906IMG_5911IMG_5916

They got back to the house around 5 and were starving for food!!  After we filled up on soup, we went hot tubbing!  So weird to be swimming with snow on the ground!  Andrew and Luke loved getting big snowballs and watching them melt in the hot tub.

The next day we got up and checked out of the house and drove over to Summit to snow tube and play in the snow.

What a fun trip!  Once we got home we relaxed for awhile and then went to the Outback Steakhouse for dinner!

We had SO MUCH FUN!

FYI for those of you wondering... the picture with Darrin, Josh & Andrew standing with their skis... that is Mt. Hood behind them. We were so close it looks that small!
