Big Mountain Ski Trip

Hugo tagged two more states this week with his first Flanagan Family Ski trip.  We took the train to Whitefish for a week of skiing at Big Mountain and a day trip to Glacier National Park for a snowshoe/ski. 

Hugo enjoyed looking out the window of the train.

Continueing the tradition of photos with NP signs.

Hugo even enjoyed the car ride from Whitefish to the NP and back. 

Hugo had a lot of fun hanging out with the family in the condo.

Mt. Baker Weekend

Spent the weekend in a cabin with Oma and Grandpa in Glacier. 

Then we went snowshoeing on Saturday at Mt. Baker.

Getting ready at the cabin.  So excited to get out in the snow.

Ready for some sunshine!

The Family. 

Hugo rode in the backpack. 

Notice my ski socks on his legs for some added warmth.

Hugo just sat back and enjoyed the ride.

Well, at least I enjoyed it.

Snowy Day

When going out in the snow it is important to layer.  Here's Hugo in a polypro base layer.
 (The 18 mo. size fits his 6 mo. old body perfect.)

Now with a warm fleece mid-layer and wool socks.

You loose 90% of your heat out the top, so a warm hat is very important.

A Poofy outer layer is warm and fashionable.

Are we done getting dressed yet Mom? I'm ready to go outside!

We just need some wool mittens and a couple warm blankets, and Hugo is ready for the snow.

Even if it is only a couple of inches.

Houdini did not layer properly and is left hiding under a fern to stay warm.
