Last weekend, we met up with our friends, Andrea and Jeff, in Vail to go snowshoeing. I had never been before, but Brent and I are on a quest to find a winter activity I will enjoy. We are thinking that if there is something I like to do in the snow, then I won't dread it so much.
It was a pretty cold and snowy day. We forgot Ava's normal hiking backpack, so we had use the baby carrier that straps in the front. She was a little squashed in, but did pretty well with it. Ava was a trooper with the cold and snow. We hiked a little under an hour one way and then turned around. Right when we turned around, it started snowing and blowing pretty hard. That kind of push Ava over the edge and she cried most of the way back to the car. Luckily, we made good time back to the car.
The good new is, we had a great time! It was fun to hang out with with friends and get to enjoy the beauty of snow covered mountains. Looking forward to doing more snowshoeing this winter!

| I love how Ava is smushed into that carrier. |
 |
| First time in the snow! She was not quite sure what to do with it. Every time a snowflake would land in her mouth, she would try to spit it out. |

| I think she might be a lover of the snow like her Daddy. |
