Gorgeous Break-up

We call the start of the spring season "breakup" as the snow starts to melt and the ice breaks up.  The roads are clear for the most part and the temps are rising.  It is wonderful!  Since it is sunny and nice we are getting outside a lot more.  Yesterday we went up to powerline pass (5 min from our house) and hiked around.  I never remember just how stunningly gorgeous it is out there.  There is still a ton of snow, with probably a good few weeks to a month of xc skiing out there.  

It was just one of those days to remember.  Amazing!  And we were lucky to share it with Ben and Shereene who are visiting from DC.  Ben is one of Andrew's best friends from high school.  

Speaking of amazing: "Uncle Bent" is awesome with Chloe.  She just adores him.  The rest of us get shunned when Ben is around.  It is pretty adorable!

Here's hoping this awesome weather continues!
