Mountain Trip February 17, 2011

Filed under: Uncategorized — Jay & Kerith @ 12:29 am

Last weekend we went up to the mountains with friends from our Bible study.  Matt’s parents have a house up in Bradford County (in northern PA, near the NY border), so he and his wife, Jamie, invited a group of people up to spend the weekend with them and their baby, Caleb.  On Saturday, Matt took us on a two hour hike around the property.  There was probably between a foot and 18 inches of snow on the ground (and more in some places), and it was snowing pretty hard again when we started the hike.  It was a great trip, though, and we had a very relaxing weekend, with lots of hot cocoa and board games.  :-)

The latest addition to the Leatherman family!

When we first started the hike, it was snowing pretty hard. (It had already lighten up a lot at this point.)

This was where the hike started to get a little steep.

The snow was up to our knees (and higher) at places, and it was covered with a couple inches of ice, so sometimes you could stay on top, and sometimes you fell through.

 

A deer stand. Or a tree house. You decide.

The wind picked up as we were getting back close to the house.

 

Snowboarding didn't work so well...
