Into the mountains

One of the magical things about Seattle is leaving the rain behind and heading into the mountains for a winter wonderland. In less than an hour we are bundling up in snow suits and mittens and playing in the snow.
Lily cried for the majority of our first venture - probably due to shoes that were too big and a snow suit that was too small. Today was much better. She loved sliding around on her butt and throwing snowballs. Beatrice broke her snow shoes in for the first time today! She didn't get very far, but did surprisingly well.
