The Holley Pack's 1st Shoeshoeing Adventure

Today we decided it was time to use our new snowshoes. We drove about an hour and a half from our house to Herrick Reservoir (we took our trailer there for its maiden voyage, 2009). The weather was perfect, snowing lightly and no wind! Here is Cora all bundled up in the pack. She was so happy to be outside.

Mike carried Cora for the first half of our hike. Here is a cute shot of them in the trees.

We hiked back into the spot where we camped in the summer of 2009. What a great spot to camp. We can't wait to go back this coming summer.

On the way back to the car I carried Cora. What an excellent way to step up the workout. Not only does she add some extra pounds, but carrying a child on your back really forces you to pay attention to your balance. She was such a trooper.

Both the dogs came a long as well. Beck was a total rockstar and loved the snow as usual. Cassius, the poor dog was just not built for Idaho winters. He had his jacket on and was still cold. His paws didn't take well to the snow and he almost had to be carried back to the truck. I think a trip to Cabellas is in my future where I will be purchasing a set of dog booties. I think I am also going to have to sew or buy him some doggie poly pro underwear. At least both the dogs were worn out, only one of them had a good time though.
