Impressions from January & February: A Personal Project

We started a fun tradition a few years ago to visit the same cabin in Soda Springs every Winter.  We always go with my sister (who has four daughters similar in age to my kids) and we just soak up the relaxing cabin life.  We play Uno around the crackling fire, drink way too much hot cocoa, decorate sugar cookies, and the kids play right outside the cabin in the snow.  They will go out as soon as they wake up and then come in to warm up by the fire/dry their snow clothes.  Then it’s back outside for more sledding!  This place is pure magic for us and I just relish the memories we’ve made year after year.  It’s now known among our children as “the cabin” and we look forward to our trip every Winter!  This year we decided to try snowboarding at the resort down the road from the cabin.  All the kids and I took snowboarding lessons and then spent the day on the hill.  I officially have a whole new respect for people that snowboard!  I also tried out skiing and BOTH were super challenging for me!  The kids picked it up much quicker and now we are looking forward to going again next Winter (maybe we will even get season passes and go several times?  Lucky for us, Tahoe is only a two hour drive!).  I didn’t bring my big camera on this trip, but we took tons of cell phone pics.  Here are a few favs!‘Impressions‘ is a creative project by an eclectic group of female photographers from around the globe. Every other month, we share a selection of images that tell the story of what inspired us in the previous weeks. We are free to explore the meaning of ‘impressions’, and it is likely to change month to month.
