What else?

What else would you do on a warm summer day - that rights, HEAD FOR THE SNOW!!!!!
This was a shot taken of Ashley at "Artist Point" at Heather Meadows, which is the best place to take in the views of Mount Baker. It was a warm 23 degrees on this day, so no need for jumpers or any other winter paraphenalia.
There were loads of snow on the ground, which had people taking advantage of the warm conditions by delighting in a snow ball fight to cool off after a hike, and even sledding in their bikinis (not me)!
It was an unbelievable view up there, simply breath-taking. These mountains make the BC coastal mountains seem like mere hills, which reduces Adelaide's laughably named Mount Lofty to that of ant's nest-like proportions.
I had told Alex that we were unlikely to see snow on our trip to the mountains, which was my honest belief, so he was so very excited when snow began to appear on the side of the road. It was a nice reward for the kids after sitting idle for the entire two hour journey and for us too. We could once again indulge our inner child by playing and building things with snow, while also being ridiculously silly. Posted by Picasa

Nothing brings out the silliness in people like snow does. Thanks for all the pictures. Glad you had a great day down here. Lauraine
