On the road again

We’ve left the flatlands to take a weekend trip to Sun River Oregon.  The reason for the trip is snow.  A couple of years ago we discovered that Mt. Batchelor has this wonderful tubing activity that is sponsored by the Portland FOX station.  On the way we saw Mt. Shasta.  Usually this mountain is shrouded in clouds and fog but on Friday it was a beautiful sunny day and we got our first sight of snow.

After a 6 hour drive that was very uneventful, 3 naps, 1 stop for lunch and a stop for a rootbeer float at A & W in LaPine we arrived, opened the doors to the truck and stepped out into……………..75 degree weather!  What the heck?  This is suppose to be winter.  What about all those ski clothes, snow boots, bennies, gloves and wool socks?  As two very young and cute 13 year old girls walked by us (scouting out my 11 year old son who looks 13).  They were wearing flip flops, shorts and tank tops.  I thought…we’re in trouble.  We have no shorts or tank tops.

But we got up this morning and found frost on the golf course.  So the DH and kids dressed and are gone to the snow park for the day.  I sit here at the condo because this is a bad lung day for me.  I woke up at 5:30 with a coughing fit and realized today would be a down day.  That is OK, I know tomorrow will be better and we’ll all go and have fun. 

Here is a photo of the kids before they left.  Can you see what is wrong with this picture?     No Snow and sunshine in the background.  But they look very cool….don’t you think?
