A few weekends ago we decided to take a little drive out to a small Bavarian village called, Leavenworth. It's a couple hour drive, but we thought we could do some sledding on the way. We stopped on Snoqualmie pass to sled, but realized you could only sled in a designated area that cost $20 to use. We knew our kids wouldn't last long, so we decided it wasn't worth it. Instead, we continued to drive towards Leavenworth and stopped at the Ensign Ranch that's just right off the freeway to let the kids just play in the snow. We figured it was better than nothing and the kids would at least get some time in the snow. We ate our lunch that I had packed and after a while of playing and being pulled around in the sled, we continued our journey to Leavenworth! Our stay wasn't too long, but it was a lot of fun and just a great family outing. We shopped around a bit and got a pretzel to snack on. The kids each got to pick out a toy at the toy shop and we took some time to enjoy the scenery and take some pictures. It was a spontaneous trip, but turned out wonderfully! Here's some pictures we took of our outing.
I'm glad you found some snow to play in... we did the sledding hill a few weeks ago, but Clint parked like 5 miles away so we didn't have to pay $20! I love all the updates....so exciting that Samantha is learning to read :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun trip! You spontaneous kids! :) Some year we should go over for the tree lighting ceremoney together. They have it in December and it's a great way to kick off the Christmas season. It's also crazy busy though. Glad you guys had a fun time!
ReplyDeleteI love Leavenworth. Thanks for all the updates!
