Christmas 2008 v.2 - Eastern Washington

Boxing day saw the Paulson's re-pack the car and head east to Grandma Marcia and Grandpa Ron's house. The weather held for us over the pass and we made it with ease, which was nice as we were followed by another snow storm, so the timing couldn't have been better. Though we had some snow, the weather was beautiful most of the time!



Jace was really curious about the big animals that were outside the window, peering back at him.

The horses didn't mind the snow at all, in fact, some of them loved to roll in it.

Each morning and evening we were treated to 4 of the biggest bull elk going through the neighbor's pasture. The racks on the elk were huge!

We went for a few walks while we were there, so Jace to had to get all bundled up.

Jace liked helping his Grandpa put boots on.

Jace enjoyed the snow more than the first time he encountered it. (It didn't hurt that he had a great new pair of boots and that June was outside, waiting to play with Jace)

When it came time for chores, Jace liked to help his dad with the plowing of snow...

But when it came time to shovel, Jace was ready to move back inside and read his books.

Since this was Christmas, part 2, we had more gifts to open.

However, the best toy for part of the trip was the wrapping paper holder...

Here are some more great pics of Jace playing and having fun with Grandpa and Grandma.

At the end of the night, Jace was one tired kiddo and slept hard, with his polar bear watching over him.
