Bennett got skis for his 3rd birthday so we took him up on the hill for the first time this weekend. It was a learning experience for all. Brent and I both have skied for many years but have never taught. We went to the Leavenworth Ski Hill - they have two tow ropes, just the right size for beginners. While we only managed a handful of runs, Bennett had a great time. I hope someday we can take family ski vacations.
It is sure a lot of work getting kids bundled and geared up!!
Especially when you then have to carry them to the tow rope and up it.
Clara hung in the backpack - we did a little cross-country skiing with her on my back.

Bennett wasn't into the family photo op.

This was our subtle hint that he was ready to go.
So we took a family photo without him :)
There was also a clam digging tide this weekend on the coast so after
recovering for a night from skiing, we packed up the truck and headed
the other direction. We rented a little place in Moclips, north of
Pacific Beach and enjoyed the stormy Pacific Coast. We did end up
watching more movies and lounging than actual beach combing but it was a
fun quick trip nonetheless. Pretty sure Clara ate a peck of sand...makes me cringe just looking at the pictures.
