Snowy Sunday Hike

As promised, we woke up to pouring snow.  We are all very ready for this long winter to end.  Having Bear in the house means we have had some cabin fever -- much, much harder to get out and take advantage of a good ski when you've got a little peanut to worry about.

But now, at six plus months and balmy April snowfall, we are ready to get out and enjoy it.

The fur kids could not be happier!

Berit sings along

Hartley pond -- dangerous and nerve-wracking ice

The regal matriarch

And she's out...

When we got home, papa was baking birthday cake and listening to prairie home companion.  How's that for a wonderful Minnesota family moment?

The Bear, still in her baselayers

Showing off her little teeth

And coming for her momma and that damn camera
