30 Day Project ~Day 1 “Snow”

I am doing a 30 day project with a friend.

One picture a day of our kids.

windowwatchAlthough I do take pictures of my boys a lot, I want to be intentional about the shots I am getting.

I chose the above shot as my pic for the day but I think I like the one below better.

We might get more tomorrow also!!!

I am going to embrace this winter weather while we get it!

Those 100 degree temps will be here before we know it.

Hiking in Minnesota at Christmas time

It was a little chilly in Minnesota this Christmas but we still had some nice days to hike!

maplewood1stThis was our first hike.

Maplewood State Park Woodland Trail.

maplewoodcome maplewoodmaddie maplewoodme maplewoodusYou get pretty warm wading through thick snow!

I made Nick go first so he had the hard part of breaking the trail.

That is the nice person that I am…

hillupSince it was a short hike, we hiked up to the Halloway Hill Overlook also.

One of these days this hike will seem easy.

In that day I will know I have turned into a superhuman…

I might not be thinking that while hiking up that hill but once at the top I am good!

tamaracOur boys, two of my nephews, and my mother in-law joined us for a trip to the Tamarac National Wildlife Refuge.

We went on the Old Indian Trail.

The visitor center was closed for renovations.

I am looking forward to checking it out the next time we head up!

tamaracboys tamaracboysstopIt was a bit of a rough hike for some of them but we made it!

It would just feel wrong if I did not hike while up in Minnesota!

Such a beautiful place!
