Epic Local Pass

And so winter break ends. We fit in two visits to Stevens Pass (our local mountain of the year). The first day was cold and clear. On the second there were piles of pillowy snow.

Even the mighty Jane gets tripped up.

Horace's growing confidence on skis is something to behold.

Hugh did the Polar Bear Plunge off a neighbor's dock. This moment is pre-plunge.
 

And we went to a sensory-friendly performance of the Lion King at the Paramount. What a great opportunity for the many, many kids that would otherwise not be able to sit through a performance! I saw several familiar, happy faces from the special needs community. Horace was a little tired of waiting for the show to begin. Jane preferred Hamilton but she can't really tell you why.
