This weekend we headed up to the yurt again. We have done this for the past few years and love that it has become a yearly winter tradition. So Friday afternoon we put on our snowshoes and loaded up our packs and started our hike. Luckily Marcus is the sweet husband that he is and he packed in some of the heavier stuff so that I could have two pillows stuffed in my pack. :)
We went to the same yurt as last year and hiked in with Kate + Jake and Tommy + Rilee met up with us a few hours later.
There was a lot of fresh snow and it was beautiful. It was also really cold and super windy, but luckily as you hiked you warmed up. After we hiked the 2 miles to the Yurt we left our packs and snowshoes and hiked on to Lily Lake. We decided to go through some deep powder and without our snowshoes we ended up completely exhausted.
On the way down Marcus let me sit in the sled, with my pack on my back, while he pulled me half the way to the car. So I basically sledded home, hah. After I got out and walked we loaded up a bunch of our packs in the sled and he pulled those. I guess that's one of the benefits of having such a tough husband.
We also enjoyed some sledding, a huge breakfast, lots of fun games, and just hanging out. Besides being the worst night's sleep ever, we all had a great time and can't wait until next year!

oh man that looks so fun!
EVERY time we go it's the worst night's sleep ever! I'm mildly disappointed that we couldn't be there :)
glad you had fun!
How are you doing those things being pregnant? You're insane! Looks like so much fun!
Fun! I want to do that sometime!
You taking baby next year or do I get to watch him?
so I swear I left a comment and it never showed up.
But it looks like you guys had fun! good job packing in two pillows, sleeping there is the WORST. especially when you're pregnant!
wish we could have been there. sort of. :)
No, Chel, you've got to leave little baby boy with me! I'm so glad that you and Marcus have had this time to create tons of great memories together before your family arrives! The little ones will put a bit of a kink in all of these fun outings, but they're so, so worth it! And don't forget Granny loves to watch the kids when you need to get out!
Way to go hiking and being so adventurous while you're prego. I got tired just reading about it!
Fun pictures! Sorry about the terrible night's sleep though...
