Camping out...in the winter!

On New Years Eve day, our little family went for a hike in the woods by Grandpa and Grandma's house - the ones that Daddy grew up in! Tanner got to ride in his sled for about half our journey and then he had to be carried because the trail was too full of trees to fit the sled through! After awhile we came to this lovely gully area and decided to have a little campfire!! Daddy loves this stuff!!! So we gathered some wood and started a little fire. Then we drank some coffee (Tanner just had water!) and had some snacks. It was surprisingly warm because the trees around blocked any wind plus there was the fire to warm by if necessary! We only stayed for an hour or so but we had a great time!

Putting on Tanner's brand new snowsuit - we want him to stay nice and toasty warm!


And it did! We kept checking him and he was very warm! He loved hanging out in the snow!


And trying to eat it!

Daddy built the fire...notice Tanner's cool 'infant boggin' in the background.

What a campfire!

Wheat stood guard in the trees!

He had a great time - certainly didn't act like 15.5 years old!

Tanner thoroughly enjoyed himself!

Daddy captured this cool shot through the fire!

Maybe we'll make this a tradition - every year on New Years Eve...a campfire at the Roots!
