April Snows

Who would have thought that Winter wasn't over? Snow has been predicted for this weekend, just in time for a Biker Rally & Chili Cookoff in Kirkland this Sunday. Looks like I'll be wearing the chaps to church! Our snowpack is in fine shape in the Cascades - thank you very much - and the precip hasn't been letting up lately. So why not a little variety? Snow in April? Well...okay.

David loves the snow. He can be soaked head to toe and still not feel anything outside the elation of being in the white specks, even if they are hard! When we got home tonight from the Y he asked if me and him could ride in the snow for a bit. Since it was still light out, I thought "why not? It is Snow In April after all...

The Kart looked like a hoot in the snow. I pulled out the $45 chopper bike I got on close out last year and pedaled around in the slush, chasing David as he went full bore down the hill on the Kart. Eventually we met up with his friends Rachel and Andrew at the bottom of the street, who were doing the same thing in the snow/slush/rain/hale.

Actually it was a nice departure from just going in and turning on the tube!
