A Hike in the woods...Or not

A few weeks ago, Brad, myself, Madelin, and our friends Ben and Rachel decided it would be a great idea to go on a bit of a hike. It's had been so cold and we finally had a break in the weather and we were determined to take advantage of it. So we bundled up Madeline, snow pants, jacket, snow shoes, hats, gloves, and the doggies and we headed to Tussy mountain. Now we are well aware that the snow stays on the Mountain longer than in our area...but we thought it would be okay...well not-so-much. We made it about 3/4 of the way to where we were headed to park when we found some fellow travelers stuck. So Brad and Ben being the good guys that they are got out to help these guys. Geeze-o-man, we were there for over an hour and half. Madeline was quite the trooper. She hung with Rachel and I and watched the boys display there muscles. Ha. Eventually the car got out, and we all made it back down the mountain, however by that time it was time for Madeline to nap and we weren't too keen on trying to go any further up the mountain. Oh well, you can't say we didn't try right?
