The Adventures of Kerri & Matt

There were weird splashed of green throughout the park.

We were not the only things in denial that it was winter.

Some plants were still trying to flower.

Spiders were lost in the snow.

Ducks were walking on water.

And trying to figure out why they didn’t migrate.

And huddling to avoid the cold.

These are not good snowshoes.

They were gathered around the small passage through the lake that was broken by the ferry.

The ferry had to break new ice every time it passed.

In the wider part of the lake there was a bigger unfrozen gap.

But the ducks don’t like it here because there are no tourists to feed them.

This is a waterfall in the summer.

We went in search of more waterfalls and on that path we found trees frozen to the lake.

It was warming up

We tried to climb all the way to the upper waterfalls, but soon we were the only ones and having to break through fresh snow.

We decided it was time to turn around and build a gravity assisted snowman.

Gravity was less helpful than we thought it would be.

It was hard work.

By the time we finished even the snowman was exhausted and had to lie down.

When we got here no one had walked up this path.

Kerri innocently lied down for a nap with him.

But the snowman threw a snowball at Matt, and she got blamed.

Then we all hugged and made up.

We woke up to go for a hike and all we could see is this.

It was everywhere.

But Matt pulled Kerri out of bed and drove to the park anyway.

But the roads in the park were closed.

The waterfalls were impressive, but the white water on a white background makes the pictures not so great.

The water that is still liquid stands out nicely though.

The water was very clear.

Matt was evil and threw snowballs at Kerri whenever she grabbed the camera, so there aren’t many more pictures of the waterfalls.

Kerri threw them at herself.

Then Matt threw them at the lake.

There is another picture of the waterfalls after all!

Today we drove away from the coast and into the mountains. It was a dumb idea.

Tomorrow Matt is going hiking. Kerri is staying glued to the heater.
