A Weekend of Snowshoeing & Sledding

To complement Pat's video posts (above and below), click here for photos from the two days we just enjoyed at Mt Hood.  Day 1 we spent hiking the trails behind of town of Government Camp by snowshoe.  The weather was great, so we wandered along several nice trails as we worked our way up the mountain.  

Day 2 we spent exploring the White River Canyon area on the southeast side of the mountain, both by snowshoe and sled. White River had some great mountain views and the kids got to spend a big part of the day sledding and playing in the deep snow.

Snowshoeing around Mt. Hood

Here is some video of our snowshoeing adventure in Government Camp yesterday. We hiked parts of the Crosstown, Glacier View and West Leg Trails, taking us from town up toward Timberline Lodge.  

The video was taken with a GoPro camera which allowed for some creative experimentation.  Click Here to see the results.  

Zoo Lights

Here is a photo album of our trip to the Zoo earlier this week to take in the Zoo Lights.   It was a beautiful evening for a stroll and train ride.

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas to all!  It's been a great day here so far. Click here for photos of the kids enjoying the many surprises of Christmas eve and morning.   

Holiday Festivities

Yesterday was a day for two of our favorite holiday festivities... a Hanukkah dinner and high-stakes dreidel game with Tony, Lee, Elan, Luna, Diego, Ari and friends, and enjoying Gluhwein with Peter, Teresa, Ben and Nicky and friends.  Click here for photos. 

Winter Break Begins...

Completing Our Holiday Decorating

We made our annual trip to Kirchem Tree Farm on Saturday in search of a Christmas Tree.  We found a great one that fortunately - albeit barely - fit through our front door.   Click here for photos.
