Snowshoeing

We went out last Saturday to go snowshoeing with some highly experienced friends. Well, we've had some really warm weather, and apparently the mountains have as well. There was plenty of snow, but not enough to need our snowshoes (that was kind of the whole point). We ended up carrying our shoes and just hiking. We went with our friends Nate and Kristen, and their little girl, Tenley (aka Brooks' girlfriend). Brooks is still too small for the backpack, so we had him in the Baby Bjorn. Chad carried him up the hill and he did great. On the way down he screamed for about 30 minutes straight. He was SO tired and apparently cold. When we got down his little lip was quivering. I felt so bad. Despite my best efforts to bundle him up, the shadows and wind were too much for the little guy on the way down. He ended up falling asleep in the car and slept for 3 hours once we got home. He was tuckered out! Hopefully we'll get out again soon and actually have some snow to walk around in.
