This winter we saw lots of snow. We spent as much time as could up in the mountains. Spring came so fast(for the Rocky Mountains) that we didn't find time to post much on here. My wife was finishing school the kids had activities and every moment we weren't doing that we were in mounting exploring and teaching them about nature. These pictures are of one of the snow shoeing trips we took. It was one weekend when you could drive here and not see only snow blowing and guess where the road is. It was a realtively warm day (0deg F) but we all had on our Eddie Bauer down and different kinds of snow pant. So we stayed nice and warm. We packed in a picnic in my Eddie Bauer Alchemist pack (I use that every time we go to the mountains, it fits well has a spot for a hydration pack and holds everything we need) and ate in a little grove of aspens. It is roughly a 3 mile round trip so by the time we are there the kids are hungry. My wife always bakes brownies or some other treat for us (it is hard to beat brownies in mountains), she always does small things to make our trips special.
