Some Honorable Mentions You’ll Love
Poolside Sunset, by Kevin O.
KO: “Epic sunsets at Evergreen Lodge pool and two excited kids ready to take a plunge!”

The Future King of the Valley, by Kristina M.

Snow Showers, by Anne W.
AW: “Bear Shakin’ a Tree” – We brought a friend, who’s NEVER seen snow all her life, and my 10 y/o son, whom we call Eli Bear, shook a tree with her under it for the full experience (and that slow-mo video). The next day, all the snow was gone. It was phenomenal”
EL: What a fun experience to show a friend snow for the first time!
