Snow Day!

 So, today my family finally made it up to the mountains for a morning romp in the snow. The weather reports have been 'threatening' snow in Portland for weeks, but since it never happened, we all had the urge. And we figured with a new baby coming soon, we had better have a snow day while we still could!
Our snow for our snow day was actually pretty disappointing....It was raining pretty hard, so the snow was not fluffy by any means, and while it wasn't cold out, we got pretty wet. Not to mention that our old regular sledding hill now costs money ($10 per child and $20 per adult... completely ridiculous!!) so we had to find a new hill to sled on, and it wasn't as great.
But, we all had fun having a romp in the snow, especially the dogs. It was our puppy's first time seeing snow, and she had a grand time! We had a snowball fight, some attempts at snow angels, and Finn and Todd got a few runs down on the sled. Not the best weather, but a fun family adventure!
