Do U Snowshoe?

In the winter, the amount of time between school dismissal and sundown is about 90 minutes. Better use your time wisely after school, kids!

And we did just that today after school. We picked Luke up from school, raced home, bundled up, loaded the snowshoes & baby backpack, and drove the 7-minute trek over to Fox Run Park. We only have one pair of kiddo snowshoes (maybe Santa will bring us another pair!) so the boys took turns wearing the snowshoes. Luke and Reid spent much of their time running on the trail, picking up sticks to use as light sabers, throwing snowballs, making snow angels, you name it. Grant was happy as could be watching it all from his perch on Mom's back. Moments like these are the true treasures of motherhood.

 Here we go!

 Reid has never snowshoed before, but he

picked it right up and was off and running...

literally. He had a blast!

 This is our "show your snowshoes" pose!

 RUN!!

 "Mom, don't look now, but I think someone

is sneaking up behind us..."

 It didn't take long before a stick 

transformed into a light saber!
