"Over The River....

 ...and through the woods, (and over mountain passes, around lakes, through desolate waste lands and frozen tundra) to Grandmother's house we go!"

 At the top of the mountain pass outside of Spokane we hit some snow and couldn't help but stop and play for a few minutes in it.

Blake noticed that Ashlyn's hair was a perfect snowflake catcher...we took TONS of pictures of all the individual flakes.

 (Notice Blake was out in it  in flip flops!)

 Since there were potential bad roads we decided to make the drive in two days so we didn't have to travel in the dark.  The kids were excited to swim in the pool and the hotel even had board games we checked out.

They finally had a chance to watch the Mr. Peabody and Sherman movie,...and 935 miles later we made it to Grandma and Grandpa's for Christmas!
