Best of both worlds...

The snow has melted and spring has arrived at Poofy's Paradise. My husband and the kids had yet another fabulous day at Stevens pass and I had a lovely walk into town.

You would have missed this if you were driving.

Waiting for my bacon.

Watching the snow melt...

My favorite coffee spot....

A lovely weekend, putting away the sleds and pulling out the chairs.

While it was pouring rain and blowing a gale in Seattle the sun was shining on Poofy's.

Bedazzled at Bavarian Ice Fest

After a powder filled day of snowboarding at Stevens, we decided to head into Leavenworth for dinner. As soon as we opened the door, we were greeted by deep booms in the sky. 

Then more booms. Boom, boooom, boom!

Followed by color. Oh so very much color.

And after all the dazzle, we went to our favorite pizza place, Idle Wild for some wood fired pizza. Order the Delancey. Always, order the Delancey.

Walking in a Winter Wonderland...

Before heading out i needed to test out the new milk frother my sister got me for Christmas. 

Ready to take the snowshoes out for a spin, thanks Santa!

Let it snow, Let it snow, Let it snow

My routine of late is to wake up,  look outside and notice the clean fresh new snow.

Next, I groggily check the Stevens Pass snow report on my phone. Then I stumble into the shower. Feeling more alive, I shake the kiddos awake while broadcasting the new fresh that fell. Today, it was another 14 inches. This number is key to getting the kids to move. After slapping all our gear together, we roll outside and get to work loading the boards, and clearing off the car.

Then we cruise to Stevens Pass, and for the first few runs, we catch some low hanging fruit powder.

As the day passes, and the in bounds gets tracked, we do a little hike, and the fresh tracks start all over again.

Life is good.

Weekend Hike in Shugart Flats

It was a lovely book club get away to Poofy's Paradise this weekend.  We managed to squeeze in the local Shugart Flats hike before the wind storm. Shared the trail with this cutie.
