Ty hits the snowshoe trails!

Robin and I borrowed my brother and sister-in-law's snowshoes a couple of years ago, and conveniently have not had to give them back - until now :) They are finally going to make it up to the mountain themselves, so we decided that we had better make a little family trip with Ty before we had to give back their gear! Spur of the moment decision on Sunday, in the middle of Tyson's normal nap time, so it was definitely a risk, but it paid off! A great time was had by all (until Tyson cried for the last quarter of the trek. Tired, cold and hungry - bad baby combo).

The adventure begins...

Me taking the lead for a bit.

You can barely see Ty he's so bundled, but he was snug as a bug in his pack close to daddy.

My boys...just haaangin out :)

Stopping to enjoy the waterfall and water flowing underneath the snow banks.



My blue-eyed babe. Happy boy. Okay, this is pretty much the last "happy" point since he started getting really cold and tired and started to whimper/cry the rest of the way down. Oh well, at least he LOOKED cute! We all survived :)

The trip was a great success and we will do it again for sure! Just need some wool socks and warm snow pants for Tyson next time. HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
