Weekend in the snow!

Max and I had the opportunity to spend the weekend up at some friends cabin east of Cougar, Washington. It was supposed to be a girls weekend, but Max came with us to give his Dada more time to work on the houses. We had a great time up there! Thanks to everyone for putting up with us!
Here is Max having his first playtime in the snow. He has a hard time walking in those boots, so he mostly stood there and laughed as I lobbed snowballs at his feet.
Here is Max with his new friend Mary Katherine, 5 mo. old. He didn't really know what to do with her, and I kept reminding him to be gentle. He did really well. He'll be ready to be a big brother when the time comes!
Here is a shot showing how much snow had arrived the first night we were there. I was a little scared we wouldn't be able to get out the next day, but it warmed up enough for the snow to start melting and we got out without a problem. It was fun while it lasted!
On the way up, our little caravan stopped by to pick up Tracy in Woodland, and Max had a lot of fun playing with her little boy, Nicholas. Isn't it amazing how kids can become instant friends? All went well until Nicholas stole Max's lovey, Wallace, from him. Max had never had that happen before and didn't know what to do! Nicholas didn't keep it for long, though, so all was well in the end.
