Max in Snow
As you know, due to our sojourn in Hawai'i, Max hasn't seen snow (except for a few cubic feet trucked down the mountain) since he was a few months old. We remedied that this week, in the Snoqualmie Pass:

 | He really didn't let the cold bother him, and we had him equipped pretty well. But he definitely knew that this was different! The first snow we played in was in the parking lot and backyard of the Family Pancake House/Inn in West Summit, Snoqualmie. Good pancakes, and Florentine Benedict! |
 | He caught on to the concept of snowball fights pretty quickly, I have to say. Not bad aim, either... |
 | This was the second of the snowmen, actually. The first one we made in the parking lot from large chunks thrown up by the plows, piled on top of each other. The snow here was a bit wet and icy for rolling, so we just packed it together. |
 | Our second snow stop was the Sno-Park just past the Snoqualmie summit, where there were lots of families sledding and cross-country skiing. The sled was borrowed, briefly and gratefully, from a resting child. Max got four runs in, smiling the whole time. |
 | Technically, I know it's a bad picture, but I kind of like it. |
