can you say snow hiking?

Hi family! I wanted to say what a beautiful hike it was today with everyone. (mom,dad,ben,kim,kids,john,spencer,and of course sammy.) It might not have ever happened, but thanks to Ben's quick reflexes in putting his van in reverse - there were no injuries to report to person or vehicle. It was an exciting way to start off - anyway-we thought the sign said 1.0 miles to big springs which would have been a perfect length for the snowy conditions - but turns out it actually read 1.8! going uphill in the snow that make a big difference. I'm so proud of mom and dad - it was hard work through the snow, and to the girls - each one's feet were completely wet and freezing and they kept going not complaining! way to go everyone! It was a beautiful day and a good start to enjoying activities together. Hopefully next time we'll see Cam and Emily and Mckelle and maybe more. Thught for the day: "We all have dreams. But in order to make dreams come into reality, it takes an awful lot of determination, dedication, self-discipline, and effort." Jesse Owens
HAPPY TRAINING EVERYONE!
