Day 4 - Alpin & Nordic

Started the day out waxing my skis

Have to brush them smooth.

Pink wax for the girls.

High on Vista Ridge. Mt. Hood in the background

Hanging with Grandpa Steve on the Mt. Hood Express lift.

After making some alpine runs it was time for a loop of nordic at Teacup Nordic center.

Mt Hood is beautiful.

But not as big as you think

And a whisky jack stopped to say hello.

Day 3 - Buttercup to Mt. Hood Express

Bug saw a boy her age go up the lift by himself and couldn't let that slide.

Heading up the big lift - Bug leading the way.

Still smiling at the end of the day.

Day 2 - Rain

Since it was raining "sideways" on the Mountain we went to find a geocache.

Day 1 - Flight to Portland

Bug and I had a two leg flight out to Portland. We flew from Dulles to Minneapolis. Then Minneapolis to Portland. We had a bit of a delay in Minneapolis and took off a full two hours late. By the time we got settled into our seats. Emma was went to sleep almost immediately. I watched The Kings Speech. (a great movie).
