Better late than never....

I have finally organized and compiled our hundreds of photos from our trip to Vietnam and Cambodia from 2007. Part of that whole new years resolution thing :) I created one of those cool photo books to remember the trip, and found out you can share them with others. Please use the link, if you are interested in checking them out.

Madison trys out snowshoeing

Last weekend we took Madison our for her first snowshoe adventure. We decided to go closer to Seattle, in case she didn't enjoy the activity and pulled her mule routine. We planned to hike the Lower Gold Creek Basin in Snoqualmie, which turned out to be a great one for dogs. Madison was all geared up - softshell and booties. She had used the booties before, but they still took a little getting used to. We decided to go closer to Seattle, in case she didn't enjoy the activity and pulled her mule routine. It seems as though she was happy to be going with on the trip, but wasn't quite sure about the gear and snow - at first. She quickly adjusted and it seemed as though Ben and I couldn't hike fast enough for her. Ben especially liked bringing her along since she was so full of energy and that helped him make it up all the steep hills :) Despite dragging dead weight, she was still ready to play. At the end of the day, she used up most of her puppy energy and enjoyed a nap on the drive home.

Waterfalls and Mountains

We spent the weekend visiting mountains and waterfalls... all within an hour drive of home. We visited the Salish Lodge in Snoqualmie, which was a really nice place to stay. I highly recommend it when you are ready to treat yourself. We also broke out our snowshoes for the first time in a few years (!!!) and had a great time hiking in the woods. I think we will take Madison with us the next time we go snowshoeing and let her test out all her doggie gear.
