Snowshoeing in our backyard


Justin's parents visited us briefly this past weekend and we squeezed a short snowshoe outing into their busy schedule.  One of the things that we love best about where we live are the neighborhood trails right out our back door.  It's hard enough to get the kids ready to go without having to pile everyone into the car too.  We had a nice warm (well above freezing anyway) and sunny day and everyone had a good time.

Brynne, Gram (aka Kathy), and Blythe ready to set out.

Papa (aka Chuck), Justin and Barrett at the start of the trail.  Barrett started out walking but was forced into the backpack after a few hundred yards.  

Justin and a very unhappy Barrett, who would rather be snowshoeing under his own power.
