A big group of us went snowshoeing by MOONLIGHT the first weekend in February. The guide takes you up, builds a couple fires and brings hot cocoa and food to make over the fire. It is SO much fun! It was great exercise and we laughed nearly the whole way up AND down, much to the dismay of the tour guides!!!!! It reminded me of when I'm with my family - funny and loud! I loved every minute of it. The trip was full of silliness and fun. Kristen and I had the idea of making snow angels....well, we attempted to anyway! Ben nearly gave me and Kristen heart attacks...unbeknownst to us, he ran way ahead of the group, hid in the bushes and just as we were merrily coming along (of course talking), he jumped out at us and made sounds like a mountain lion!! So...we tried to run away in our snowshoes (have you ever tried running in snowshoes??!! Not easy!) and collapsed in fear on the ground and soon after, we were in a fit of giggles! The fires were great, but a little smokey at times. It was a beautiful trip - we walked along a creek and you could hear the water trickling and the moonlight just made everything look so pretty.
