Shyla Saturday - Fun while Sheltering in Place

The skies have dumped lots of snow on us this week. It's put a damper on fat biking but I've found other ways to get outside with Shyla in the mornings. Despite being eight, she still has endless energy for bounding through snow or playing with Hachi. She and I are a good match in terms of our need to get outside!

Shyla still gets overwhelmed with anticipation when a walk, snowshoe hike, or bike ride is imminent. She cannot contain her excitement.

When we get out into the snow, Shyla is in her element.

She adores bounding through deep snow, and I love seeing her do it.

During one of the storms, we wandered the forest adjacent to our house. We found this pair of severely leaning pine trees that I'd never noticed before. They are so big!

For snow play, our absolute favorite location is the meadows with endless snow and beautiful sunlight.

Today, the meadows had endless wind too! Do you see Shyla out there?

It's been a good week with Shyla. I'll admit that I wish that we were in the desert, baking in the warm sun. However, for sheltering in place, we live in a good place where we can have so much fun just outside our door. Shyla sure knows how make the best of it!
