winter fun with the storeys

also about a month ago, we had breakfast and a day out in the snow with our friends the storeys. the breakfast was fun and delicious (poppy seed pancakes with lemon sauce).

we went up by sundance and hiked in to stewart falls, played around in the snow, and then sledded back to the car. here s is posing for the camera.

 the storeys with the waterfall in the background. what a fun family!

 can you see w in the stream bed?

 ian climbing up the snow on the other side of the stream.

 s really enjoyed playing and sledding with lucy.

 some of the crew was adventurous and climbed up on the top of the waterfall.

 wah!

 can you see that person popping up over the ridge?

 nessie joining in on the fun.

 ian and katy.

 here they are! now both of them are smiling.

 sliding down the hill.

 it was a beautiful day. it was really nice to be out of the yucky inversion that was still really bad down in the valley.

 now the adventurers are coming back.

 ross and few kiddos waving.

 that's a fun sierra face.

 i like this one of w jumping up from sliding down the hill.

 we saw a moose on the other side of the mountain. on the way back, we had some good views of it.

 

 a lot of moose pics. i always love a moose siting.

 back by the cars there was a big long hill that you could slide down. we each went down it a few times.

 w belly boarding down.

 nessie cruising down.

 ian going down.

 s sliding down.

 ian really enjoyed our blue sled, and i don't blame him. after this outing, i realized we need to get more sleds like this one.

 even lucy got to ride around.
