A Very Short Winter

 It seems like we hardly got any snow this winter and when we did it did not last too very long.  I kinda feel sad in that I have found a new love of snow shoeing, but haven't really had great snow to do it in.  Some friends of mine had kiddos Colton's age, so we planned to make a date and let the kids ski up at the Canyons and we would find a place to go snow shoe.  It was a wonderful day for everyone.

Here are the kids all geared up and ready to go.
 Here we are up at a summit point.  The trail was about 4 miles roundtrip, and we made it about halfway in about 21/2 hours...its slowgoing!

 Here I am testing how well our snow shoes really work. The snow looked really packed and I wasn't really sure we needed them.  I took one step and sank up to my thigh.  I guess they are working!
I am hopeful to get Brett into this sport - I think it will be a great pastime through the years!
