Sunday Jan 6th we headed out for a wonderful winter adventure: a HUT TRIP.
Our friends Julie and Patch organized this hut trip for themselves, us, and 3 other families with young kids. A 2 mile skin into the hut, a beautiful hut for one night, and an easy descent the next morning out.
The hut had 5 bedrooms, a wood stove, 2 indoor composting toilets, a kitchen with 4 propane stoves, solar powered lights, and a large common area... a perfect easy-access, luxurious winter camping destination for families.

Logistically, everything worked out well. Jason pulled Rachel in the chariot with some things and I carried a bigger but not very heavy pack. Jason had a small day pack.
Each family had their own room, and even though Rachel and another child named Seth cried often throughout the night, it didn't seem to bother others nearly as much as we feared it may.
It was beautiful. Jason and I got to play in the snow and practice beacon rescues (more on that in weeks to come). Kids went sledding. Adults played fun games. All the kids got along well. We met some great new people.
Looking forward to doing more hut trips again... the next one will be without Rachel (wow!) and in the future when we take Rachel, we hope she can sleep a bit better!
