Home {Away from Home}

Just before heading cross-country! It was snowing, and there was a chilly wind blowing.
Despite the very icy snow conditions, we made it to Paulina Falls. It was well worth it!

We enjoyed seeing this lovely bald eagle. I took the picture through Dad's little monocular!




After the trip, Dad build a fire in the lodge and we warmed ourselves. Noah split wood for the next folks. :)

View of the valley on our ski back down after lunching at the waterfalls.

LaPine is our home away from home. We treasure each moment spent with our relatives there. Playing games, eating, just visiting...this year we also enjoyed ice skating in Sunriver, cross-country skiing to Paulina Lake and Falls, and fellowshipping with friends old and new over the course of our time there.

That's cool, I love snow :).
Were the waterfalls frozen? I couldn't tell from the pictures...
