The sun is coming back, and it is so beautiful. We have been able to spend a lot of time outside enjoying the snow. Kacie has been getting into cross country skiing and really enjoys it. Going for walks with the kids is also a pleasure. Jared has had some snowmobile outings with some of the guys. The big "Mountain Man" outing is soon to come. Next week actually. It's a week long over nighter where a bunch of men go out with their sons and stay in tents with their snowmobiles and cook over the fire. This camp out also involves bad manners, going to the bathroom outside and lots of tall tales. No women allowed of course. Jared, Kenten and Nicholas will be heading out on Monday. Nicholas has been talking about it for the past 3 months. He is so excited to be a part of what his big brother was able to do last year with Dad. 

Here are the adventures.  Also the moose are starting to come back around.

Walking to the lodge to play at the playground and check the mail.

Nicholas being Nicholas... Always wearing a smile.

Skiing with Evelynn. I think Evelynn liked it.

Here's a picture of Ryan in the creek. The snow machine went over a part of the creek that collapsed. No one got hurt, but they had a blast.
