Tubing

This morning we went tubing at the Summit at Snoqualmie with the Worsley's. Luckily, we picked a great day and had awesome weather - temperature around 40 degrees, bright blue sky, sparkly white snow and sunshine!

As we were driving up the pass, I realized just how much I miss spending time in the mountains. As a kid, some of my fondest memories were of skiing - every Saturday, my friends and I  would take "the ski bus" to local ski areas and spend the entire day exploring. These trips resulted in many great memories, lots of laughter and the creation of life long friendships. Of course, not all the days were as beautiful as today but regardless of the weather, we always had fun.

It is too easy to forget, and take for granted, all the beauty that surrounds us, especially in our own backyards. Today was a good reminder for me. Hopefully one day my kids will look back at these experiences with their own level of appreciation and happiness.
