Second Family Trip to Peter Grubb!

After last year's successful trip, we decided to head out to Peter Grubb again (actually, we wanted to head to Bradley, but they mistakenly booked us for May... and it's closed in May...)  Turns out this year isn't like last year where we had to crawl into the tunnel of doom to get into the hut... and it was forecast to rain.  Oh well, we figured we'd go anyway... and we had a great time.

I was suffering from having run Mi-Wok the weekend before.  Doubling my longest run distance, but it was nice to stretch the legs and get outside.

As a reference... this is what Boreal looked like.  Quite a difference from last year.  

The forecast... let's get in early!  

Hiking?  Wha?  Something we didn't do at all last year... 

But we didn't walk for long.  Maybe 1/4 mile.  And soon we put the snowshoes & skis on.  

Nikko wanted to hold my hand since he didn't want to put on his snowshoes.  

C'mon Chik-Fil-A!

The kids explored the hut...

While Alexis and I earned some of the worst turns of the year... 

By the time the Metres' arrived, we had sunny weather, and we were ready for some banquet beer...

Not too shabby...

Metres is allergic to huts.  That's him in the green bivy outside.

Oh... and I learned from last year.  Caught 5?  I think?  

Thomas = helper

these kids were building steps... also helpers.  

the kids love this place... 

the final kill count...

Nikko was trying to be a helper, but he decided this was too heavy for him... 

Lovin' this guy's style.  

Some carnage shots.  

Everyone decided to walk after that... 

Action shot!  Notice Kai is still wearing snowshoes.  As I'm still on my skis... 

Decided to hit up the only restaurant on the summit!

I've gotta make one of these... 

Kid's table!

These three decided to put on a show for us.

Until next year!!!
