On a bright March afternoon，some travelers moved through the snow along Bearskin Lake. There were three dads and four teens. The teens，14 to 16 years old，chatted and laughed. They each were pulling a sled （雪橇） which was full of winter camping gear （用具）. Their dads—Bob Feyen，Jesse Schomberg and Kevin Skwira﹣Brown—also pulled gear.
Even when they were young，the children did their share. "The rules，from the beginning，were that everyone has to pull a sled. " Kevin Skwira﹣Brown said. "We want them to grow up strong. "In the early years，the children pulled small sleds with just sleeping bags. Now，they pull full﹣size sleds.
For 10 years now，these dads and sons/daughters have been making this journey each winter. "Bob，Kevin and I had done this one winter with our children. " Schomberg said. "The kids thought it was great fun，so we made it a tradition（传统）. "
On this 32﹣degree March afternoon，the group was going to Daniels Lake. They would camp there for three days. They all stayed in Schomberg's tent.
Hannah Feyen told a story about a trip when she was young. "We were walking across a stream one time，and I lost a boot in it. I shouted to dad for help. He just shouted back 'You can do it!' and I did. "laughed Hannah.
Bob Feyen said they were taking their children to this trip every March. They would keep on the tradition until the teens moved away for college.
