We headed off to Mt. Bachelor last weekend with our friends, Cory & Sonja Hansen. We had a blast. I've been dieing to do a ski trip for quite a while... Isn't the Mountain beautiful?! We couldn't have asked for better weather. It was in the 40's and sunny, for the most part. Loved. It! 
Riding the lift up..
Apparently there had been an ice storm a couple of days before we got there. The summitt was closed so we only had use of 1/2 the mountain. But the snow was perfect. A little bit of powder and mostly groomed. There were a few places where the powder was so deep, like to my thighs, with ice underneath. So after getting stuck once and having to hike my butt out of the powder, we decided to stick to the groomed runs. 3 feet of powder and snowboards are not a good mix... Anyway, back to the ice storm... I'm not exactly sure what Cory is doing in this picture, I probably don't want to know, but can you see how much ice is on the trees? They were totally frozen and covered with so much ice. I've never seen trees like that before.
Sun & Me waiting to get on the lift...
After skiing, well Jacob and I boarded, Hansen's skied, on Friday and Saturday, we went out Saturday night. We went into Bend to Old Mill District and did some shopping and had dinner at a little place there called the Martini Bar. It had the most random menu, but everything we got was SO good. I love that. Sun's curry was my favorite, and I had a steak that had Bleu Cheese sauce on it. Ok, so I have always been scared of Bleu Cheese, I rarely eat regular cheese... but twice now I've had it on something and have liked it. Does it always taste good? Who knew?
We just hung out back at the condo Saturday night and played games. We taught Cory and Sonja how to play Sequence... One of our favorite games. How we've been such good friends with them for so long and not played it with them before is a mystery to me. Although we decided that its hard to play that game cuz we talk to much... Sequence is not a game you can talk during. It takes focus, if you wanna win. Which of course, I DO! Sunday morning we got up and took our time getting ready to leave. I really have enjoyed going on trips with just Jacob and I lately. Its so fun to get away and actually be able to pay attention to each other. It seems like we are always so focused on work, house, kids, that we rarely focus on each other. We've probably left too much lately, but... what do you do. The kids love to stay with Grandparents and seem to have lots of fun! And we have great parents that are always willing to help out! Thanks guys!
Thanks for a fun weekend Sun & Cory! We had a blast! Can't wait to do it agian!

FUn!!! Fun!!!! So glad you guys got to go! Hopefully someday I'll LEARN how? UGH! Fun pictures too!
Good for you for taking off to create these fun times and lasting memories. I'm glad you're taking advantage of all your energy while your young, because when your my age you'll want to sit around by the fire and read a book for fun.
So. so. envious.
I'm glad you had so much fun. I was thinking of you guys all weekend long!
Seriously, next time you're here..let me know! :D Would be fun to meet up somewhere. Yes..there was a huge ice storm up there, and right before the holidays, TONS of snow in the city itself. Oh, and that's a yummy little place to eat, isn't it. :D
Hey Steph- We'll definately let you know if we go there again. I think its such a fun place. It seems like there are so many things to do... I bet its fun in the summer too!
What?? So fun! I wanna come too! You two are always having so many fun adventures!
Is that bad that I'm only 25 and I agree with Leslie? Sometimes I like to sit by a fire and just read a book for fun :) But I do love snowboarding too...and haven't been able to go this year and only once last year! The sacrifices we make for our babies! Looked like a super fun weekend. I can't wait to see you in a couple weeks!
