Snow Shoeing

Snow Play!










Can you tell how cold it was?!

Our very attractive snow shoes!

So for the first day of activities in the new semester we went with our Geology professor up to the nearby mountain and went snow shoeing. I wasn't sure if I wanted to go at first because it was going to be so cold, but I thought that would be a lame excuse to miss out on all the beautiful scenery and the experience of snow shoeing. So I layered up in long underwear, three long sleeves, a north face puffy jacket, jeans, and old tennis shoes with wool socks. Let me just tell you now, I HAVE NEVER BEEN SO COLD IN MY LIFE! Once we got our snow shoes strapped on and headed out into the snow I immediately wanted to turn around, but I stuck it through and was so glad I did because it was such a cool/experience. We hiked in the snow for about 2 or 3 hours then stopped for hot chocolate before heading back to the house. The forest was so beautiful covered in white!

  1. Looks like your having a great time. While your in the snow we were on a nice cruise to the Caribbean enjoying the sun, and snokling,scuba diving, and playing with the sting rays. I love the snow too, only for a short while. I will always love California weather no matter what. Check my pics in my blog when your not playing so much. octupusgrandma.blogspot.com
