The kids got money from Brandon's family for Christmas and we decided that instead of buying more toys we were going to use it for some family outings. Our first was trying out the the snowtubing park at Mt Hood. It was a great day. It snowed on us a lot of the time but the kids didn't complain at all about being cold. We did leave Evie with Auntie Kendy, but the rest came and had a blast!
Daddy and Cooper

Hazel liked playing in the snow but wasn't so sure about the whole tubing thing.
Everything went so well until it was time to head home. On the trip home we discovered a mile down the road that we'd lost one of our chains. We returned and found it but in the process got stuck in a snow bank in the parking lot. It took a few tries and a great amount of frustration before we were back on the road again only to find out that the highway was completely stopped. It was stopped like no on going anywhere, people out of their cars, STUCK!!!! It took us a very long time to get home and to top it off as Brandon was out finally taking the chains off of the van a car full of teenagers drove by and they were throwing snowballs at the folks removing chains. Maybe not the best idea when people have been stuck in traffic for hours, just saying....
