Cabin in the Woods

We spent last weekend in the Cascade mountains, at a cabin rented by my sister on Odell Lake. We only went for one night, since Owen still doesn't sleep well when we're not at home. There was 20" of base snow there, but it was warm and we didn't need to bundle up much to go hiking on the groomed trails. Owen loved the snow and sliding on the ice and jumping in mud puddles.

Zoie proved to have less sense than usual (maybe that's being too nice- less sense than we hoped?) and jumped into the frozen lake. She got out pretty quickly.

Owen got to sled for the first time. He and Richard had a blast.

Zoie proved herself useful as well.

Owen had a great time with his cousin Laurel. He even gave her a great big kiss. This was his reaction to the kissing.
