This weekend a bunch of our friends went on a trip to Mt. Baker. We had 10 people, so we rented a house in this funny subdivision at the foot of the mountain. Picture old school suburban, but in the middle of no where with a gate.

We were cozy in the living room with a fireplace. Our bones were warmed by a barely functioning, but still fun hot tub. Friday we relaxed after a long drive from Seattle. Sat. morning we had a great breakfast with homemade cinnamon buns before a taking a nice 6 mile hike at Nooksack Falls. It was a groomed road, but there weren't many people and there were some nice views with a good steady climb. At the end we all threw snowballs into the pools above the falls trying to hit a little island. We were like 10 big kids, and one lab named Bailey.

Dinner was awesome pizza and brownies. We played pool, darts and watched Kid & Play House Party II in the rec room basement. This was followed by Balderdash and a late night dance party and a bit more hot tubbing, which included pans of hot water to keep the temp up.

Sun we relaxed with blueberry coffee cake, and packed up. We took a short river hike and drove home. Tragically we were drawn into a combo A&W/KFC where I drank too much root beer float. We even got home in time for the Super Bowl.
