A Snowshoe Trek

We took Braden for his first snowshoe adventure - OK, he was carried. But the rest of us walked in snowshoes. It was a blue-bird winter day. And Jamie K. was along for the walk.

First we met a lone XC skier making her way out of the woods past the barn.

Cristin, Braden (on her back) and Finn walk the VAST snowmobile trails.

Cristin, Braden and Tegan pose atop the bridge. Guess who was down under the bridge?


...Finnegan of course!

Tegan walks ahead, Riley runs back...

A quick stop for some hot chocolate and snacks along the way. We love a good winter picnic.

Braden slept for most of the trek.
Tegan and Riley are getting waaaaaay ahead of us!


We stopped for a few long jumps off the side of the trail.

Jamie soared...

Finnegan took a little walkabout on his own to find some open space.

The views were pretty nice on the way back home.
