The girls have finished the 2013 Snowshoe Season in wonderful form. They are state champs! Today they decided to take the whole family out for a snowshoe hike at Huron Meadows metro park. The weather was perfect, a warm 33 degrees, and a great snow pack on the ground. Rain was predicted so we were at the park by 11, following a big tuck in of blueberry pancakes and sausage. Shades of a team practice, I found myself on my knees checking everyone's straps and fit! Cassandra and Harry do not have snowshoes (yet) but everyone else got set and ready to hike. As we set out we realized that the trail follows the Huron River for a good stretch and it is so pretty. We did the trail twice, and only saw one couple, otherwise it was a private path. We were able to let Harry off his leash to roam, and he loved that! All those woods smells make a dog heaven! Cassie really enjoyed the snow, she kept dipping her hand in it, tasting it and laughing. we towed her on the sled or piggybacked her, and she was happy through the whole hike. She is as easy going as our kids, which is great. We are trying to focus on family activities on Sundays so this worked out perfectly.
