Easter Preparations

Easter is almost here and spring is in the air. We have traded in the Chariot skis for tires and have put on hiking boots. Winter has been long and we are looking forward to summer; although there is still a lot of snow on the ground. We are getting over 12 hours of sunlight now.
We tried Bell's backpack out for the first time on a small hike with Karen and Jake. Bell insisted that we play it safe, so Scott gave her a short briefing on our route complete with contingency plans in case of an emergency.


All the dogs came along for the hike to provide protection from hungry spring bears.



After the hike we colored Easter eggs with Karen & Jake, and Jessica and Kate. Jake really got into the project, and the project got all over Jake; I don't know what was more colorful Jake's hands or the eggs.


Jake gave Bell several goodbye kisses; he 's a good boy.
