Cantankerous Little Boy {DOESN'T EQUAL} Snowshoe Fun

This was our snowshoe trip this past Friday.  This trip was a little different than before from multiple reasons.

1.  David was cranky - he didn't want to go, and then wanted to go but didn't want to get out of the car and then wanted to but didn't want to get in the snow.  We had a hard time getting him ready

2.  The weather had been warm and so the snow was wet and heavy; it made great snowball snow.  The snowshoeing was more like snowshoeing in powdery snow.  David didn't quite know what to do with this since last time it was packed down pretty good and this time it wasn't

3.  We just pulled off to the side of the road near a little stream just outside of South Fork, Colorado.

4.  We actually made it far enough to be out of sight of the car.

5.  All David wanted to do was get in the stream (which we wouldn't allow and made him mad) or build snowmen or lay in the snow.  We still never made it very far but it was pretty where we were.

The video at the end is of some snow floating around in the stream we were by.

Snowshoeing with David

These are pictures of David as we got him all ready to snowshoe and of our snowshoeing.  We never made it very far, we could still see the car, but we did have a good time.  David liked digging caves in the snow, so we made a couple of those.  Later after lunch we made some slides which was lots of fun.  Dustin and I both got snow down our pants at one point and it was really cold!  David was so sad to leave but we promised him that we would go snowshoeing again next Friday (and every Friday for as long as we can).  This trail we were on is a snowmobile/x-country trail about 5 minutes from South Fork.  We had planned on going to Wolf Creek Ski area but never made it because we saw this first and thought it would be a good place for David to learn.  We had so much fun!
