Bo Rhymes With Snow

 Here's a photo of the Justin Bieber look just before Humboldt chose to have his papa trim it off. The short cut was just in time for a California spring...and Bo's first game of croquet in the park. Fred remembered how to set up the course, but we had to look up the rules later. I was glad that nobody got hurt. Bo plays croquet lefty, and he throws (not croquets balls luckily) and writes righty.

We spent the long weekend in the mountains on the Trinity River. Humboldt loved all of the winter activities: making snow angels, watching his parents build snowmen, snowshoeing, and carrying firewood. We tried sledding, too, but the snow at the top of Scott Pass, about 5,000 feet elevation, was too dry and fluffy. Down by the cabins, there was some wetter snow perfect for snow ball fights. Both dogs enjoyed romping in the snow, and they kept Humboldt company in the back seat. Humboldt's favorite part of the trip? Snowshoeing.
