This weekend Bill and Karen came down to visit.

We went up to Snoqualmie Pass on Saturday. The avalanche danger was high, so we stuck to snowshoeing on the Iron Horse Trail. It's a safe, groomed and well traveled trail - nearly level and fairly dull. Perfect for carrying a great big Logan around!

We had a pretty good time up until the last half hour. We walked until I became exhausted carrying Logan. Then we stopped to have lunch. By then Logan had been asleep for a while, and he slept through lunch. After lunch we started walking again. We heard avalanche bombs going off on the shed by Lake Keechalus, which spooked Chazz. Eventually Logan woke up. He wanted to walk, but he was far too slow. Eventually we bundled him back into the backpack. He wanted to walk, and cried up a storm. By the time we got back he was near hysterical, but he calmed down once we got into the car. We think he got cold, and then cranky.

Bill and Karen may leave Vancouver. Both of their jobs are coming to an end, and they don't really know what their next jobs will be. I hope they can stay on the west coast - and Seattle would be a bonus!
