Spring has sprung, but we decided to share one last photo from our wintery Montana trip. ❄️

Snow tubing - thrilling or terrifying? We vote for thrilling...but I admit to heart pounding moments when the kids push the boundaries. This twisty course had us over the edge more than once.

❄️ Our first time cross-country skiing! What we lacked in technique, we made up for in enthusiasm. Given that the kids insisted we hike up every hill in order to sail down, we probably shouldn’t get rid of our downhill ski gear anytime soon. ⛷ Thanks, Missoula for another great and ☀️ day!

This was our first time dogsledding and we had a blast! We even drove the sled - equal parts exhilarating and heart pounding. We took turns driving, riding on the back and chillin’ in the sled. We spotted a baby elk and prancing white tailed deer. Not bad for the first day.

The Iditarod starts in Alaska this weekend and some of the dogs pulling our sleds were Iditarod veterans or hopefuls.

😅 BREATHE IN! We fit! I had a few moments of trepidation, especially since the side mirrors were flipped in and I couldn’t see a thing.

The kids requested a drive-through tree after seeing pictures on the internet. The Tour-Thru Tree in Klamath is the farthest north drive-through tree and easy to access off Highway 101. $5 gets you a trip through and all the photos you want.

A wide variety of trails have something for everyone...and the parks include beaches and tide pooling too! Yes, our Scandinavian-born duo were happy to soak themselves in the wintery Pacific waters. 🥶
