Sometimes the result is worth shivers & frosty fingers! - my friend Erin was hopeful for family photos while her parents Steve & Mary Lu were visiting for Thanksgiving.  It was COLD that weekend!!  Really cold!  The start to a great ski season our area needed!  But bitter.  This family made it happen.  The afternoon light was gorgeous, the Fall colors were still bright - and the frost never melted that day!  We loaded up with jackets and gloves and blankets.  Those of us over 30 gingerly made our way across the huge suspension footbridge at Tolt McDonald Park, and the teens experimented with mass & gravity & tension - the bridge sways and bounces a surprising amount with their steps.  When it was each person's turn to be "on camera", blankets & jackets were handed off, ready to bundle again when their turn was finished -  I was only hoping our results would be worth the cold, and I'm pleased!!  My thanks to Erin & family for seizing the day :)
