Snowshoeing: An Epic Trek

With the weather taking a sharp turn for the better over the past few
days Erin and I decided to give Anderson his first taste of
snowshoeing today. The three of us climbed intimidating slopes (the
snow banks beside the road), traversed barren tundra (the soccer
field) and wove our way through dense forest (the trees behind our
townhouse). So, epic may not be the best word, but it was fun!

Anderson seems to be getting used to the cold and sitting in the
carrier. He is done after about 45 minutes, but progress is being
made. This little jaunt around the block proved to me that a short
snowshoe in the mountains should be possible given the right weather
and the availability of enough blankets and comfort from Mum.
