Back to being one of my favorite places to go is Wenatchee to visit Tyler's side of the family.... we use to go over and stay with Erin and Cody Stitt a lot, now that things have changed up a bit, we stay with Tyler's other brother Carson, friend Trish and their two adopted boys Avie and Collin. Carson had a good old friend visiting Dee, took us up on Steven's Pass to do some Snowshoeing.He did this hike in the summer time, up to a natural hot spring. He said it would take a couple of hours... well not predicting the difference between summer and winter...it took us 4 1/2 hours to get to the hot springs... it was just at the tip of sundown when we found the Hot Springs... Everyone got in, hesitantly except for me.... Best that someone didn't, to keep the dogs out,(or they would freeze!) and dress the ones that got in, as they got out in the dark, lucky we had a pinch of moonlight! :)
We headed down in the moonlight, and it was hard to see the path... kept twisting my ankles as I stepped. But it was beautiful, the moonlight hitting the snow and the huge mountains... it was a great scene and adventure! We all had a great time...can't wait to do it again!

Start of our hike

My new favorite picture of my two loves!

Deep path

These were crazy... you could "hear" the electricity come off of these things... I couldn't hear it for awhile 'untill we got up higher away from traffic noise. At night you could "see" the electricity sparkle off the wire.

Good friends Dee and brother Carson

Leading the way Carson, Salem, Amber, Bella and Tyler ") Dogs were troopers!

The snow was so deep, Bella and Amber with their long hair collected snowballs on their bellies. We had to keep breaking them off. So funny and sad and the same time!

It was a great view

Tyler and Dee


We had to cross a couple of little streams


Carson and Dee loving the warm water...but were not excited to get out!
