Our first snowshoeing trip!

Last month, we took the awesome opportunity to try snowshoeing with the Catalyst ministry of our church. We had a fantastic time, and it was just a perfect day! We went to The Crags, which is near (or in) Florissant, CO. It was Natalie's first time in the backpack carrier, and she really did a great job! We loved it, and we look forward to snowshoeing again soon!!

Midway up the trail, we run into friends, Rachael & Daron and their dog, Belle (and Ernie, the beagle they were dog-sitting)...

We feel preparing Natalie to be flexible and that "adverse conditions build character" are important...lesson of this day--eating WHILE Mom continues to showshoe since we needed to stay with our group!

At the lower overlook point...perfect place for Natalie to get a break from being in the carrier!

Rachael & Daron took care of Natalie (who was not okay with getting back in the carrier yet) while we hiked the rest of the way to the top to see this beautiful view!

LOVE the new photos! Natalie is such a little trooper. I love the ones of her and Isaac playing together too! She's going to need a little brother :)
