Anthony Lakes, Oregon

We were lucky enough to get together with numerous families and friends for a long weekend near Baker City, Oregon. It was a pretty long drive but a wonderful time. They apparently usually have much more snow than this year but it was perfect for what we were looking for. We skied at Anthony Lakes resort. It was low key, local and lottso fun.

There were a bunch of kids and parents. With this combination it led to a lot of storytime. Here is Sasha's morning storytime.

After storytime and breakfast we all headed to the hill. Here is most of team Wilco, Ivan, Liza, Gray, Andy Pants and Jen and Oliver headed out of the photo. We were enjoying watching some sort of sledding race with dummies strapped to all kinds of ski/sled/snowboard contraptions.

I think this guy won.

The kids did great cruising the runs and playing in the snow.

We bought new mini snowboard packages for Ivan and Liza. They liked it alright but were not able to ride the magic carpet on the snowboards. They are getting to be really really heavy to carry uphill 4000 times.

Dawson's evening storytime.

We even got in some indoor soccer in the barn/bar/garage.

Somehow the ball got kicked down into the drained pond. Sonja spent most of the next day trying to kick it back out.

Thanks for the great time everyone!
