Spring Break: Hurricane Ridge

First stop on the spring break adventure: Hurricane Ridge in the Olympic National Park.

Good news was that the road was open, not so good news was that we didn't break out of the cloud so we had to play in the snow rather than admire the views
(I don't think anyone else minded though).

The boys discovered some snow holes to play in while a nervous dad stood ready with an avalanche shovel...

 

...yes, really!
F later put it to better use by turning the tables on his big brother.

We also managed a bit of sledding without a sledge.

and I even got to wear my new specs...

...which embarrassed F so much that he buried his head in the snow.
