The Hazard Chronicles

This winter is teasing us. We got a big snow-storm. We went up to ski. The storm was too big, and the power was down at the lift. Bummer. Then we tried again the next day. There was too much snow, and it was causing avalanches, so they only opened the bunny hill (probably no avy risk there). Then it rained and got real warm and all the snow melted. The end.

Rachel was able to get out to a different resort with some friends and had a good time. Kids spent an afternoon exploring the mountains on foot, and had a good time too. So I guess it was okay. Just not so good when it comes to skiing. And as I write this, several resorts are announcing their close dates as soon as this weekend. Bleh.

With the downtime, Rachel and I have had a lot of time to spend together. We've been enjoying walks by the water, quick little lunch dates, and a couple of movie nights. It's nice. We kind of like each other.

We did have a very social week: game groups, church groups, family groups, book club groups, professional groups, friend groups. Lots of group activities this week. Highlights for me were study club and sushi night with friends- both on Saturday. We like having people in our life.

We also bought a new car (again) this week. Kind of. It is being shipped to us from Colorado, so we bought it, but we haven't actually seen it yet. This is a process that I do not think I will do again, nor would I recommend it. All's well that ends well, I guess, but it's been kind of a hassle.

Alright, that is what we've been up to. Have a good week!

It's a good thing that kids take photos, because I sure didn't. This is during their exploration of the woods around Wallace

This would have been such good skiing! Maybe a little heavy? But this was down low. There was even more up at the resort and it was colder, so I'm sure it could have been some of the best days of the year.

Evelyn's friends all went shopping for food to make meal packets and then drove to Spokane to deliver them to people on the streets. This is the second time they've done this, and they always have a good time hanging out. Cool group of kids.
