North and South

Because they are still on vacation, Britt, Jeremy, and Addison got a chance to visit with family and go skiing in and around Seattle, WA.  They say the skiing was very icy - no problem for these guys, as accustomed as they are to East Coast skiing conditions. Britt's brother Jon had more trouble - that's what he gets for skiing so much powder all his life...

The skiing was icy but the weather was clear..

enough for a great view of Mt. Ranier.

They've upgraded the mountaintop restaurant.

Gwinner cousins, two generations of them.

Meanwhile, back in Lima...

After days and days of grey weather, the sun has finally made a welcome appearance. Valerie is back at work, but did get to enjoy the pool Saturday afternoon.
