There’s nothing like a dusting of snow to welcome in spring! My sister, Robin, built a little snowman this morning. Unfortunately, “Ted” melted by the time we got home from our day’s venture.

This was the first time that Robin and my brother, Billy, have visited since we moved to Colorado over 3 years ago, so we all headed up to Estes Park for a not-so-traditional Easter.

While hiking around Bear Lake, we stumbled across several abandoned snowmen, but this one was particularly odd…

And, yes, you read that right, I hiked! In the snow even. This was my longest walking venture since my broken foot started healing — what a victory!

We had a great time, and wrapped up the day with a good old fashioned snowball fight. Of course, I was on the receiving end…but I did end up with this great photo for the scrapbook.
