We have gotten quite a bit of snow the last few days. For some reason the schools have cancelled even though it wasn't really that bad so the boys have been getting quite a bit of playtime in. This morning I headed out with a few other trail runners to tackle the steepest section of trail in the area which beats me up pretty bad in good conditions. The drifts ranged from mid-shin to hip deep. We started at 6:30am, obviously dark and with wind chill about 10 degrees. It took us an hour to get 2 miles up the trail, past the point where a snowshoer (one who snowshoes) had turned around I might add, before turning around and running like a bunch of wild animals down the hill in deep snow. Very hard work but tons of fun. Then I got to take the boys out into it. The snow was deep and light which made for excellent play conditions. We sledded, although somehow I forgot to take pictures, and spent a ton of time just tramping around, digging, and having snowball fights. Kre's favorite activity was eating the snow and making me take my gloves off to wipe the snow from his face. We had a blast. What a great day.
