snow day.

it's been sunny and much warmer lately. the snow is melting [we had a LOT and we still have quite a bit], and the birds are back and beginning to sing again.

  

so today, my brothers and i headed down to the local state park to hike around and take photos. tyler went one direction, and trevor and i went further down the road before exploring.

we walked on a snowmobile trail over a bridge and followed a trail up a hillside. the snow had to be at least 4 feet deep under out feet, but the 'sleds' had packed it down so we could walk or even run on top without sinking in! a few times we got a little snow up our jeans, but then it was only from stepping off the trail.

Bigfoot roams these hills.

  it's almost picnic weather... probably the most sunshine this table has seen in months!

and finally, my favorite picture of the day: snow on the river.
