Hoofin it in the Snow

A few of us went up to Trilliam Lake near Mt. Hood for a snowshoeing excursion

Craig, Andrea and I; check out how deep that snow is! - the top of a regular road sign.

Feelin pretty cool....

We trusted the signs that said it was a meadow and not a lake:)

Checkin out the Chinese Dinos

Kris, Dan, Jacob and I went to OMSI....took a look at several dinosaurs found in different parts of China. We also had fun with the many scientific exhibits throughout the museum.

This was hilarious. This computerized kiosk was supposed to show you what you would look like as you age. This is what Dan will look like at the age of 53:)

Kris at 53

Me at 53. Scary! I wonder if they assume we will be heavy smokers or something:)

Jacob in front of his favorite dino eating something like a Stegosaurus

Hope he never gets a spinal injury!

A real fossil

Dan and I have gained some weight and lost a few feet in height:)
