Snow shoeing

Today Joe went with the kids to hunt down a new car for Aaron. Before Christmas my boy was in a collision that totaled his vehicle. Fortunately he wasn't injured and he received a good amount of insurance money.
While they were doing that I grabbed some personal time. I've been anxious to try out my new snow shoes.
It was fairly easy walking and I dressed in layers which kept me very warm. In fact at times I was too warm. I also carried a backpack with a 'survival kit', water, phone and snacks.

Here are some pictures from my walk:
























I was out in the woods for about 2 hours. I loved it. It was very relaxing, I got some exercise, and I was surprisingly very comfortable. I saw several other snowshoeing folks out there.
It was so weird; I was just 5-10 minutes from the end of my walk when here comes my husband on his snowshoes! Man, that was bizarre. He knew where I was and had my daughter drive him up and leave him off.
I had him take a picture of me and drive home.






Here's a little video:





Since I got home I can't find one of my gloves. I hate it when that happens.

Good news; the dadoo found my glove in his car trunk. It was there all along.
