Snowshoeing after Thanksgiving

Last year, Nabil and I wanted to start a new family tradition. We decided that we would try our hand at snowshoeing. Thanksgiving day can make you feel a bit bloated, so we thought snowshoeing would be the perfect day-after activity. Last year it was just Nabil, Sydney, and me. We had so much fun that we kept the tradition alive this year, but we had a few more join.

This was the crew, minus me and Brooke who were busy taking pictures.

Pretty sweet view huh!?

We went hiking at White River which is just south of Mt Hood Meadows. Both this year and last the area has gotten a lot of snow, and as you can see, you really can't beat the view, especially on a day like last Friday. It was about forty degrees so we really didn't even need gloves, and it was an unusually clear day.

Olive and Zizou lead the pack. I'm pretty sure Zizou never thought he would have so much fun.

Jacob was teasing Zizou with the chuck-it, so Sydney socked him in the back.

...but then they made up.

Zizou kept chasing the ball but then it got covered in snow, so it looked like a big snowball. :)

Such a perfect day.

What a cute little sister she is!
