Friends and Snowshoeing Adventures

This past Saturday, Meadow and I went snowshoeing with our good friends Maddie and Jen around Enid Lake in Government Camp. Todd had a fun day of skiing with the guys up at Meadows. Meadow now calls Maddie "Maaa" and Maddie calls Meadow "Memo" Very cute to watch them interacting so much more now. I just feel so blessed that Meadow already has such a great friend at the age of 19 months and that Jen has become such a good friend of mine. It is really great to be able to share with her all of the ups and downs of parenting. I think we both would agree that this stage for the girls is really fun because every day they are saying a new word or showing us that they can do something new.

Here we are getting all geared up

Jen accidentally forgot her backpack for Maddie to ride in, so luckily I had brought the sled along. The girls rode together for a little while and then Maddie wasn't too fond of the bumpy ride so Jen borrowed my ergo carrier. Jen is hooked on the ergo now too and I think has already placed an order for her own. They really do make baby and toddler carrying so much more comfortable.

Taking a snack break about five minutes into the hike. You can see a view of the snow covered lake about five minutes in. So, it was nice to take in the view while the girls had their snack.

A few of Jen's friends also tagged along. They were a great support team when I needed help making sure Meadow didn't tip out of the sled and carrying the sled over some hilly parts. Meadow really was a trooper and probably got a great core workout. Near the end of the hike, she wanted to just walk or be carried. So, here she is doing a little hiking.

I love this picture of Jen and Maddie. Pretty framable don't you think?

Later on that evening, the girls came over to hear the guys jamming music out in the garage. It was too bad I didn't get a chance to document the finnin haddie reunion, as well as the girls dancing to the music.
