Mazama mamma

Last weekend we visited our favorite cross country ski destination, Mazama Wa.

Our seattle buddies joined us in a rental home and the kids had a blast playing inside together and in all the fresh snow. Jeff and I tried out new corn cob pipes that made us feel right at home easing into our 40's

Skiing was tough when pulling the girls behind, luckily Nora sleeps well in the chariot.

Munchkins square off - Nora couldn't handle sweet little Winston getting within 5' of her

Too bad the snow plows were so speedy in clearing out the car, we would have liked to stay awhile longer

We're not in LA anymore! We hiked the Primrose trail that follows Coal Creek.

Alaska Cruise

We got back from our week long cruise to Alaska and ready to go again! We all had a great time but really the best part of our trip was all the family time we spent with my parents, Way and her family and Kin and his family. I think the last time we all vacationed together was back in 2015 when we all went to Kauai . It was so long ago that not all the littles had even been born yet! So yes, a big family vacay was long overdue. The kiddos loooooved spending time with their cousins, whether it was playing bingo or ping pong, or biking and hiking or just hanging out at meal time or playing mahjong. It helped that since we were all on vacation mode, we didn't push (too hard) on eating healthy or limiting screentime. It also really helped that the service on the ship was so accommodating to the kids and (pretty good) pizza, ice cream and drinks were available at all hours.  I was happy with the ship we picked too. The Quantum of the Seas is nearly 20 years old (first sailed in 2014) bu...
