Snow shoeing

We headed to Hoodoo to go do a a little Snowshoeing at Ray Benson Snow park. It was nice to see that there was actually quite a bit of snow on the mountains as it has been a pretty mild winter thus far. The ski resort, tubing hill and snow park wasn't too busy when we got there mid morning but by the time we were leaving in the afternoon it was madness w/ the New Years Party starting to get underway.
 
 
It was actually quiet on the snowshoeing trails. I don't think we even passed anyone.
 
It was a clear and sunny day, the parking lot and then up on the top of the trail was a bit windy, but otherwise very enjoyable.

 
The camera is all focused on our big ole selfie faces but we were trying to capture the sign behind us.
 We were snowshoeing on the Pacific Coast Trail for awhile.

what it's supposed to look like!
This one was at Dry Fields Cider in Redmond

Love this birthday girl of ours. Its crazy to think about how old she really is, it all just seems like just the other day!
I found legit old school Power Puff Girls wrapping paper at the Goodwill! She loved it!



 Celebrating Morgan


 Morgan found this coat for sale through the Marketplace, she had shown it to me about a week before her birthday and had been wanting it but wouldn't let herself spend the money on it. So Kylee and I went on a secret mission to Bend to meet w the previous owner and got it for her for her birthday!
She loves the Jello pretzel dessert for her birthday cake!
