Beaver Lake

The 2nd weekend of March we decided to help Alex complete a 5 mile hike for an advancement requirement for boy scouts. As a family we did a 3 mile hike.  We took some breaks and Randy carried Timmy and Henry on his shoulders for quite awhile but Tim and Henry walked a lot more of it then I thought they would've.  The trails were still very snowy and a sled would've worked great, but we didn't have one with us. Here we go.

See any resemblance?  Timmy and Dad.

A little break.

Sophia had the camera and so took a self portrait.

At the end of our hike we found an unexpected surprise . . .

a Nativity!

Alex and Randy went on a 2 mile hike (to finish Alex's 5 miles), while the other kids and I ate a snack and played in the kids area at the Nature Center.  On their hike they came very close to a grouse.  It even followed them for a while.
They also came very close to 3 deer.
