Will it ever be Spring?

To sum it up: We have had it! We want spring, anything but 40 F and rain. It has been a very long winter. It started in September and it has been dragging on without little breaks. Every other week we even get snow down here in Seattle. So what can you do? Go sledding. One Sunday we actually went up to Snoqualime pass to ride our sleds. Amelia loved it, she was quite fearless. Off course, it is easy to be fearless when mommy is riding with you. Marlene went by herself and got a little scared after a while. After an hour on the slopes we were rewarded with a several hour wait on the freeway, because it is the seasons for avalanches and several had come down that day. So we had to wait until they cleared the road. We had a grand family time in the car.
