Snow Days

We finally got our first snowfall a couple of days ago.  Infact, Dadda was so excited, that he took the day off.  Immediately after the girls woke up, we bundled McKinley in her cold weather gear, and then Dadda took her for a walk around the neighborhood.  Piper stayed indoors due to a runny nose.

Our first snow didn't last very long.  By lunchtime it had melted.  So, today we decided not to wait for the snow to come to us, we drove to it.  We woke the girls up at 6:30 am and hit the road for Mt. Hood.  Our first detour was breakfast in Sandy at the Tollgate Inn.  Their breakfasts are amazing! Benji and I shared a six-egg omelet and the girls shared some pancakes with strawberries and whipcream.  Afterwards we stopped at Government Camp and decided that there was enough snow to avoid driving up to Timberline.  McKinley and Piper loved the snow.  But we quickly realized that McKinley needed some snow pants and better snow boots to stay outside longer.  As soon as the girls got rosy cheeks, we warmed up in the van and drove back home.
