Let's do this in style!
Callie says:
was the first day of Christmas Vacation for our family, so we decided to hop in the family roadster and find some snow, because we certainly aren't getting any around here anytime soon. Lucky for us, a quick trip North on Highway 9 and East on 542 gets us to Mt Baker and plenty of snow. Try to keep up, and hopefully the pictures don't leave you as exhausted as they left us!

Is this a good idea?
The snow events in my brief life so far have been far and few in between, so most of my expectations were derived from TV shows and movies on how to play in the snow. Unfortunately, those do a terrible job of preparing you for how cold the snow actually is! Luckily, mommy had us bundled up pretty good, which was beneficial not only from a temperature standpoint, but also from an extra padding standpoint. This came in pretty handy when falling off the sled, etc.
Climbing the almost vertical hill
Oops, I forgot the sled!
A Winter Wonderland

Running a little sideways
For anyone looking for a good place to sled, I'd definitely give this 8.5 snowflakes (on the 10 snowflake scale, of course). The facilities were slightly lacking, but as long as you bring snacks, you'll be good. Also, it helps if you go on a day when it's snowing pretty heavily, which adds greatly to the wintery feel.
Trekking back to the car
I refuse to go another step!

To all the parents out there, if you're ever looking to wear out your children, FIND SNOW! Whether it's climbing up hills and sledding down face first (Cohen), hitching a ride up the hill and sledding down with mommy or daddy (Me), or just trying to run around in general, it's exhausting!
Merry Christmas!
Exhausted!
I think we're done here
