The Thing To Do




Now, imagine, you're a 9 year old girl raised with four older brothers and a Dad who loves to go adventuring in the outdoors. On the first day of Christmas vacation the snow falls and continues to fall. All. Day. Long.

All your girl friends don't seems to enjoy being out in the snow and cold as much as you do. And the kids who live just a house away are ALL BOYS. But that is SO not an issue.

The issue is that 1) there is snow, 2) there is a hill, 3) there is fun to be had.

And if you are my Abbie, you go for the fun, even if you are the only girl.

The only speck of pink on a hill of non-pink.


And while the boys are SLEDDING and TUBING, Abbie does the SNOWBOARD thing...

with style

even when she falls.

I was actually parked kind of far away and used my zoom lens to get closer shots. I could tell everyone was having a pretty good time.


Our neighbor, the one with all the boys, has a good system for the trek to and fro.


And here comes my girl...

trudging through the snow...

happy to see me with the truck...

which means she gets a RIDE home!

Usually she has to walk.
