Nanu's Winter Adventure

Noah calls himself Nanu, I can't remember what is means, but I think little one. I will have to look it up. Anyways he has called himself that since he was about 1 1/2 y.o. Silly Kid.

Spokane has been blessed with a crazy amount of snow this year. Although it keeps melting and about a week later a storm blows in and we have more. We live high enough above town we don't seem to loose as much and the stupid plows haven't figures out that there are people living on my street so they don't plow. My little VW Passat has been rubbing her belly for nearly two weeks now. I might complain a little, but we do love snow. I think I could actually live in Alaska. I would miss summer but maybe later in life we could move to Arizona or something. Actually I love it where I am. We have 4 distinct seasons and more mountain bike trails from our door step than we could find anywhere else. We have been snow shoeing just on the back side of where we live, as you can see I am the pack horse ( notice no little boy in back pack), so not too heavy of a load..... he was running around. I have been trying to teach him to ski, he is 2 1/2 and well he just likes to go fast ( kind of like Mom and Dad). Only problem is he hasn't totally figured

out how to slow down. It is fun either way, I really miss some of the things Kris and I use to do before mountain biking became such a priority. I had the joy of Snow boarding for the 2nd time in 3 years. It was a blast the only thing I forgot was where my edges were so I crashed a few times. It was a blast. Here is a picture of our snow pile, it finally covered up the lamp out front. Crazy year. It melted enough to clear up the roads so on Sunday Kris, Vinny, Tony and I went for an icy cross ride. It was fun. I actually made it 3 hours with them. I was stoked. I also am able to run again which is so awsome. It has been 16 weeks since I have been able to run so I am pretty excited about that. Happy trails and slopes!!!!!
