A Beautiful Day

Today was my rest day from triathlon and I enjoyed it very much by taking the beardie boys snowshoeing in the mountains. Even better, we had the company of super-triathlete Eileen Swanson and the lovely lab lady Belle!

Max and Stan were enamored from the start but Belle was not so sure about Their Royal Barknesses at first. All canines bonded nicely over a good romp in the snow though!

Trail doggies

Stan was a big fan of Belle

Bookend beardies

Serious dogs


And not so serious...

Eileen and the mutts

And some good solid evidence of my total lack of a tan. Think this will be a problem in Florida next month?

    OMgoodness. Don't worry about the lack of tan for Florida...just stand next to me and you'll look super dark.

    Nice photos! Is this snow a normal thing for you guys?
