Snow Shoeing

We tried going snowshoeing over Valentine's weekend, but the stars were just not in line for it at the time. However, one of my workout buddies is constantly doing outdoorsy things and has in laws who are very well prepared for these fun outdoor activities. So they got their snow shoes and we went for it last weekend. We headed up the Stewart falls trail (which btw is very steep right at the beginning), and we hiked for a little over an hour before coming to a sign that said, do not cross this sign or you will be fined and jailed. We opted for freedom and decided to head back without getting to see the falls. Oh well, we'll have to do it again when there's no snow so we can see them. It was a great hike, beautiful weather, great company, and just an all around awesome morning. (thanx again Trisha for watching the kids) Matney getting ready for her closeup. (sorry it's blurry)

Rob and Matney, the coolest people ever. . .Rob decided he didn't need no stinkin warm close on, he hiked the whole time in a T-shirt.

I did really good until coming back down the steep part and then I decided it would be easier to just slide on my butt than attempt to look graceful falling down the hill. At the bottom I got the back of my snow shoe caught up and seriously could not get up, it was a good laugh for everyone.

Thanx again Matney and Rob for the great hike. We'll have to do it again before the snow is officially gone.
