The annual cherry blossom visit to the UW Quad was a little more challenging this year. Dad had another busy travel season, and the weather just didn't cooperate. But we're a northwest family, and rain doesn't mean you can't appreciate cherry blossoms!
Beautiful blossoms.
Not such a great day to climb trees.
Okay dad, I'm wet!
Cara took up skiing lessons again, and what a difference a year makes! She progressed rapidly, moving from her tentative forays down green trails to her first black diamond run. Meeting up with a friend from school after class definitely helped, and the two girls would often spur each other on.

Cara got this mask at a friend's birthday party, and loved it. The mask inspired some dressing up and dancing.
Such elegance!
