snow day!

imagine all the fall drive pictures from the last blog post covered in snow...that what we saw just 7 days later! our plan was to drive until our car temperature gauge reached 32 degrees...well we got all the way down to 27! i think my mom was a little nervous in the back of the car but she had eli to calm her nerves :)


we ended up driving to the exit we took the prior week to get to lost lake, but didn't dare attempt to drive to the lake!


does this picture above look familiar? this is where aaron was skipping stones! i stayed in the car this time but bandit and aaron went down to the water again. bandit LOVES the snow!



we didn't stay long because the sun sets early and quickly this time of the year.

the next morning we woke up to snow falling and sticking outside our balcony! it was so beautiful and it snowed all day long. we dont usually have snow stick, so the seattle area does not handle it well when snow stays on the ground. luckily aaron took off from work early because the city couldn't move later that day. cars and buses were stuck on interstate 5 from the evening on into the morning hours. aaron drove eli, my mom, and i to the airport to make our 6am flight the next day and there were semi-trucks and cars abandoned on the road. it was eerie! but we made it to our flight in good time and aaron was able to fly out the next day without complication. it was quite an adventure and a pretty one at that!
