Snowshoeing

It has been snowing here non-stop for, well, forever. At least that's what it feels like to me! But this weekend we decided to make good use of all this white stuff and went SNOWSHOEING!!! My dear friend, Melyn, had told us about it and so we conned her into taking us and being our Snowshoeing Extraordinaire Guide. And.... it was a blast. :) Thank you, Melyn!

To all of our dismay every last one of us forgot our cameras on the trip, so we have zero pictures of our fun. Blarg! But here are some pics of the lovely people that went with us:

Melyn (on the left)!
No, Jodi (on the right) didn't come -- I'm being lazy and not cropping this pic, but we would have loved it if she had been there!!

Josh & Allison with their daughter, Kate who I regretfully don't have a pic of (she wasn't around when this shot was taken), but she is just the cutest thing and Sophie's BFF. :)

Yours Truly and Yours Truly's True Love

...& Sophie! (old pic, but she sure could have used this hat on the trip!)

Anyway, so we went up to Mill Creek Canyon, strapped on our shoes and away we went! Josh & Allison brought along their amazingly awesome jogging double stroller that can be hooked up to skis (after you take the wheels off) and pulled behind someone -- in our case, either Josh or Bryce. We bundled Sophie and Kate up and stuffed them in the stroller and they were happy as two little bugs in a rug (after Sophie stopped crying, at least). Both of them fell asleep about half way into things, and they just looked so cute in there snoring away! This is kindof what their stroller looks like, though this particular stroller is for pets. You can just imagine the girls tucked in here, taking it all in. :)
So that's the story. Still kicking ourselves for not remembering the camera. But we thoroughly enjoyed experiencing snow shoes and stomping through feet of snow without sinking to the bottom. For anyone curious about trying it, we give it two thumbs way way up!
