We got a late start, but the kids perservered to the summit. The weather started out clear, but it was windy so in open areas there was a ground blizzard. The kids still had a great time though by the end Shaylee was tired. 12 miles on snowshoes is pretty good for a 7 year old girl, even if she is tough.
After climbing the peak we stopped at Wendy's in Steamboat and then headed home to Kimberly's open arms. It was a great day!

Chillin' on the summit of Walton Peak with the kids. High winds and -15F windchill. Good practice for the trip to the Himalayas later this year:
