Otto Goes Snowshoeing

We just returned from a family vacation with Opa, Grandma Kathee and Aunt Jessica where we stayed in a beautiful house on Lake Wenatchee. Instead of exchanging Christmas presents with them this year Grandma Kathee suggested we all go on a family vacation together. We rented a big house on Lake Wenatchee and stayed three nights.

During our vacation Otto went on his first snowshoeing trip. We bundled him up and hitched him to Daddy's back via his backpack. Off we went trudging through the serene trails at the Lake Wentachee state park. We hiked about 45 minutes and stopped so Otto could have a meal. Then we turned around and headed back. Otto was really tired and had trouble falling asleep while wobbling to and fro in the backpack, so Daddy had to endure Otto's wails for the next half hour until we reached the parking lot.

Overall, it was a beautiful trip and I think Otto will be up for another outing in the near future. P.S. Thank you Grandma Joan for the adorable lavender snow suit for Otto. He was cute as a bug and roasty toasty!
