Snowshoeing

This past weekend we went up to Bogus Basin to try out hand at snowshoeing.  And........ we loved it! Since it's hard to rationalize spending money to go snowboarding and get a babysitter for Brooklyn this was the perfect compromise.  We were able to get up to the mountains and all spend time together as a family.  And for all three of us and our equipment it was cheaper than one lift ticket, can't beat that.

Checking out the trails

We went with our friends Jilian and Kevan and enjoyed getting in our excercise and catching up with them. It has been super cold in Boise because of the inversion so it was about 10 degrees in Boise but 40 degrees up in the mountains.  We worked up a sweat!
Thomas pulled Brooklyn in the chariot most of the way but I took over for a bit on the way back and that certainly adds some burn to the workout.  Kevin also volunteered to haul her part of the way.

The princess and her chariot

The little princess slept most of the way and woke up the last five minutes and wanted out so I got in an arm workout too holding her while snowshoeing.We all agreed we will be continuing this new hobby.
