We just returned from one of our favorite places- Lake Chelan. Its great any time of the year, but we really love it in the winter. The snow makes everything so much prettier! We started the weekend by walking in the snow to one of our favorite wineries- Wapato Point Cellars. Its not necessarily our favorite wine, but you can't beat the family friendly atmosphere. They even have a play area outside for the kids that you can see from the tasting room. Genius!
It was winterfest in Manson where we stayed. There were Christmas lights, live music and fire pits in the streets. So much fun.
We ended the first night in the hot tub. The kids had fun doing the "polar bear plunge..." they would jump into the snow and then run back to the hot tub.
On Saturday we drove up to Echo Valley to go tubing and skiing. It was amazing to see the difference in attitudes and skill level since the last time we went (I think it was 2 years ago). The kids were so excited to ski. They closed the mountain down and did not want to leave. It was awesome to see so much improvement in such a short time. We'll have to make sure to go again this season!
The top video is of Carson towards the end of the day. He was feeling pretty confident by this time.
Rylee did awesome too. She initially didn't want to ski at all, then changed her mind once she saw how much fun her brother was having. I'm so glad she tried it again. She's now is love with skiing!
Thanks Chelan once again for the awesome memories! ❆
