Have I mentioned how much I love my snowshoes?!!!! I got to use them again this weekend when a couple of us went to a snowshoe demonstration. I guess Bear Cub (our local outfitter store) gets a bunch of snowshoes from Tubbs that they can let people try out. So, the camp up the road from me hosts a night where they light up tiki torches along their trails, have a campfire with marshmallows available out in the woods, and have cookies and hot chocolate in lodge. Pretty much all the things that make winter wonderfull all wrapped up into one. Whoever came up with this had me in mind! I used my own snowshoes but you could use the Tubbs ones for free ... which is really nice! Here's a picture of us on one of the trails.
It was a beautiful night with breathtaking stars. One of the benefits to living out in the country is that the stars are incredible. I used to know a lot of different constellations and stuff, but I had forgotten a lot of it. Sarah helped to explain some of it to me again.
Oh, and I can't take credit for these pictures. Charles and Martin are the experts, and they were really having fun trying out some new camera equipment! Mine would never turn out this cool! The last one is of one of my all -time favorite things to do ... roast marshmallows. I'm glad to have found another adult who shares my passion. Thanks, Dominique!
It was a great fun way to spend a winter evening with some friends.
