We rang in the New Year on the east side of Cascade Mountains in the Methow Valley (about a 5 hour drive from Bellingham). We stayed at a friend's house and spent four days cross-country skiing.
We rented a "sled" for Liam, who was a pretty good sport about being pulled each day. We learned to bundle him, stock the sled with snacks, books and blankets. We had to make sure that he got some good, hard "snow time" before we took our ski each day so he would stay put in the sled.
A picture of the valley. It is one of our favorite spots to visit.
Mama Hana's turn to pull the sled. Man...what a work-out!!! Gabe says, "I told you so!"
On our last day, Liam unzipped the side and spent the last half-hour with his head out. He enjoyed saying "hello" to the skiiers who went by.
We broke up our longest ski day by skiing into to the "Mazama Country Store" for lunch, cookies and hot chocolate/coffee. Liam gives his cookie a "thumbs up!" Boy, was it hard to get back out on the trail after that nice break, but we did it.
