Last Saturday Josh and I took the kids snowshoeing. It now comes highly recommended at our house! The kids and I had never been before, but Josh has been going for the last 2 years. The kids had filled their obedience jars (they get pennies for doing what they're asked and for not saying NO) and so for a reward we bought them each snowshoes. Future rewards will not be so elaborate, but this time it was so worth it! I can see us doing this often as a family.
We went up the canyon and found a nice FLAT trail to let the kids try out the new toys. We had so much fun. I'll let the pictures tell the story...they do much better than me.
Vince chose grape and Bobsy chose Strawberry
You know it's good when it's dripping off your chin.
We loved our new family activity. Thanks Honey Pie for getting us hooked. One of these weekends Josh & I will be getting a babysitter so that we can go on a longer and more strenuous expedition...wish me luck, I may die of exhaustion!
On a side note...the other day Aubrey told me I was "scrumptious". Nothing could have made me happier than to know I'm scrumptious!

You guys do such fun stuff. We're so boring compared to you guys.
Sara,
That's because we only blog about the fun stuff. We're plenty boring ourselves...believe me!
Snow Shoeing...so fun! I've only been once, long ago, but I quite liked it too. That's a great idea for Winter. You know me, I totally struggle to enjoy winter time, especially snow. I think that looks so fun though. And nature's snow cones rule! A little dirt and germs is good for kids' immune systems, right? love you.
