Random things

A couple of random things;

For Fathers day I was allowed to get a big screen TV. Here is Addie posing in front of it with Shrek playing in High Def.

Weston officially got his Eagle Award at a court of Honor last weekend. Here he is in full uniform (probably for the last time).

Skiing at the Top-of-the-World

Today Weston and I went back up the mountain to get in another day of skiing. The upper lifts were open so we were able to go up to the 8600 foot level. The mountain is over 11,000 feet so there was still more mountain above us. It started to snow and was almost a complete whiteout by the time we finished. The snow was great and we skied a mile long Black Diamond run that was a blast. The picture was taken from the top of Palmer Lift at 8600 feet.

Skiing on Mt. Hood

After spending a day in the lodge waiting for the rain to stop, we woke up today to 5 inches of fresh snow. A motorcycle club came up and got caught in the snow.

It snowed all day and we saw the Mountain off and on. We could not ski the upper levels due to high winds. We did ski the lower part of the ski area.

We came off the mountain for a couple of days in a Log Cabin. We went from 27 degrees on top of the Mountain to about 50 at our cabin.

Mt. Hood

Today we headed up toward Mt. Hood to go skiing. As we came around a corner we came upon this view of the Mountain. It had been cloudy all morning then almost instantly the clouds lifted and we got a rare cloudless view of the mountains.

In this picture we are almost at the Timberline ski lodge and if you look close you can see the chair lift going up the left side of the mountain. It was about 50 degrees when we arrived but as we went out to dinner the clouds moved back in and it started to snow. They expect it to snow all night. Tomorrow we ski.

Ski Vacation in June

We asked Weston where he wanted to go for a Family Vacation and he said Skiing! We figured since he is Graduating we would let him decide. There are only a couple places in North America Where one can ski in June. We started checking and decided to head West Young Man to Oregon's Mt. Hood. We are spending tonight in the Columbia River Gorge and tomorrow we will head up to the Timberline Lodge on Mt. Hood. We stopped at the tallest falls in the lower 48 states today. Here is a picture of us all standing in front of Multnomah Falls.
