Ski Season Highlights

I finally finished some sort of highlight video for Evan's first ski season. It is my first attempt using Quicktime Pro, so there is no music just the raw tracks from each clip. Kaitlyn is responsible for most of the camerawork.

Spring Skiing - HD

Here is a repost with higher quality of Evan skiing this spring.

Summer Skiing Urge

I figured out how to embed video with higher quality into this blog. This is a new video of Evan and what he is doing this summer to fill his urge to ski.

Other side of Lake

Here is Evan with his ski poles on the hike.

These photos were from the other side of the lake from our campsite.

More hike around Camp

Lunch Spot.

We drove to the river to have lunch, here are a few photos.

Sherpa.

Evan is a great hiker but sometimes he gets tired.

Camp!

Kaitlyn is the official fire tender (pyromaniac) at camp.

She is not happy unless the flames are about to burn her hands.All Evan gets to play with is the watter bucket for the fire. He likes to mix dirt in and make "Soap soup" yum yum!

Carolyn roasting a marshmellow.

Kaitlyn is stuffing her face while Carolyn is roasting a marshmellow. Carolyn is wearing Evans coat on her head to keep warm, she forgot her hat.

In the Tent

Here are some photos from in the boy's tent. When you ask Evan what his favorite thing about camping is his answer is : Sleeping.

Powder Skiing, in the dust

It was pretty dusty on the road we were walking durring a hike when we were camping. Evan was pretending to ski in the powder.

for the rest of the trip we were calling him Pigpen.

Seattle Outings

Here are a few photos of out outings around Seattle. In the first photo Evan is holding up the Space Needle. Below are immages from one of our many zoo trips.

Hike around our Camp

We went camping with Evan for the first time this past weekend. These photos are from our many hikes aound our camp.

Below Evan is balancing on his own on the log.

In the yard.

Here are some photos of Evan hanging out in our yard. The chalk drawings were by Kaitlyn.

Moo!

Moo! Cleaning out the basement we came across a cow costume that Kaitlyn wore when she was two years old. It is alittle small on Evan but he had som fun wearing it anyway.

Astronaut?

Here is Evan pretending to be an astronaut. He had just seen the IMAX hubble show and put the shirt around his neck to simulate the collar of the space suit. Then he put some pj pants on his head as the helmet.

More Indoor Skiing.

Evan is getting weekly lessons at MiniMountain. With the season pass option it is only $12 per lesson including the instructor, rentals, and 20 minutes of slope time. More importantly it fills his need to ski.

Trip to the Seattle Center

Matt's work paid for the family to visit the 3D IMAX Hubble show. I thought Evan wouldn't stay for the show but he was captivated.

Afterward we went to the fountain in Seattle Center to play in the water. Here are a few photos...
