Snow day at Mt. Rainier

On Christmas Eve the Engstrom family headed to Mt. Rainier for a day of fun in the snow

hmmm....which way? Paradise it is!

 it is SO beautiful up there!

 we just could not get over all the trees

a real winter wonderland :)

 at the base of Mt. Rainier they require you to put snow chains on your tires. We had fun figuring that out.

 Princess Snow Angel Kylee

 the girls loved playing in the snow

 eating the snow

 this guy...love him :)

 and sledding

 my little snow bunny

 so excited to be in the snow they were dancing!

 After a few hours of play we had to drag Kylee back to the car

 this is the snow drift outside my window...yeah its taller than the car

 there were quite a few avalanche signs

 as we exited the base of the volcano we saw a deer eating outside of someone's house, center far left

We had such a great Christmas Eve. I'm not a huge fan of cold weather, but mid thirties and snow was the makings of one of my favorite days ever!
