Mirror Lake hike

By

Another weekend, another hike! This time, we went to Mirror Lake, a roughly 5mi r/t hike up in Snoqualmie pass. The girls weren't super excited to go especially because we weren't prepared for the rain that was up there! At least it was just a bit drizzly here and there, and cleared after a few hours. The hike itself was gorgeous and passed by another lake first and meets up with the PCT for a bit as well. We didn't see very many folks on the trail at all, so it was a nice quiet hike.


Wet hike! Scott was the only one prepared for rain.

Bushwaking for parts of the trail

We found a few spots near the lake to hang out and eat lunch

While Scott fished (of course!)

more rain coming down

We went a little pass Mirror Lake and came across this gorgeous view of the valley.

We were at the top of this waterfall.



PCT!

On the way back, the skies cleared and we got to see how Mirror Lake got its name.

Pretty emerald waters!

Happy new year!!

Goodness, it's already 2025! It's been a really long time since we posted!  We had a very lazy new year. We flew back from LA on the evening of the 31st so spent the last remaining hours of 2024 cozying up on the couch and then fell asleep before it even hit midnight! On New Years day, we slept in, cleaned up the house and then did a quick hike the next day. All in all, a good start to the year! Nora's new blanket hoodie. Cold and muddy trails. We're not in LA anymore! We hiked the Primrose trail that follows Coal Creek.

Eating on the road

By
With all the COVID restrictions on restaurants and Scott not liking takeout service, we've gotten pretty good at planning meals for days we are out and about. We've basically taken to tailgating... a lot! It is nice though that it means having a hot meal to warm up after a day of playing in the snow and I'm not going to lie - it is also a good excuse to eat instant noodles because it is fast and easy and warming!   For overnight stays, we end up doing instant pot meals like one-pot spaghetti or chili, or easy meals like a cheese plate or sandwiches. It does save on $ so that's definitely nice but man, I can't wait to go out to restaurants again! Beef and barley soup lunch at Mt Baker. Chillin' with Chili at Crystal Mountain. Beautiful but cold picnic in Wenatchee Little girl loving her hot ramen over Blewitt Pass Jook after sledding at Crystale Springs Chicken Noodle Soup in the snow at Salmon Ridge. Pho bowls under the ferry awning at Diablo Lake.

Glass art

We picked up our finished creations from the glass blowing class we took a few weeks ago and I think they came out great! Can you tell who made which one? Nora's sunset pumpkin, May's bluebird and Evie's snow pumpkin.
