Snowshoeing!

No kids today for school! We had a professional development day! I really enjoy them. It's great fun to spend the day with teachers and not have to worry about the students. We learned about "the secret" and visualized wonderful things happening in our lives. We created a "vision" board of what we'd like to see happening in our life. We spent the afternoon snoweshoing! It was awesome! I've wanted to go, but never gone. It was a beautiful day!

I kept stepping out of one of the snow shoes. I guess it wasn't on my boot tight enough. It didn't help when it came off as I was going down a steep hill. Some teachers were sliding down and I was snowshoeing down, but ended up on my backside. One snowshoe wasn't enough to keep me up. :)
I'd love to go again. Here are some pictures. They go backwards.

Gorgeous scenery

the beginning of the steep part where I managed to get my whole backside wet. :) Justin had to help me get down, since I wasn't having much success not sliding with my snowshoes.
