First Snowshoe Experience

 My snowshoes.  Took a little getting used to.  Shadow kept stepping on the back of them! We went to Ogden Nordic, and North Fork Park in Liberty, Utah. 
 We stopped for a minute to enjoy the sounds of the birds, and listen to the quiet.  When you're walking it's crunch and noisy.  Isn't it cool how Laurie pulled the little sled?
 Laurie and Kristy.  Laurie pulled 7 month old Haven in this little sled.  She was in a carseat inside & slept the whole time.  Shadow had a blast, too.
 Thank heavens for Laurie Zeleznick!  She introduced me to the Ogden Nordic Center, and got me out of the house & up the mountain. 
 Such a beautiful day.  I love the mountains, I love outside.  I loved how warm it felt, even though the temperatures were in the teens.
This is the Yurt at the beginning.  Snowshoe rentals, cross country and skate ski rentals, and a place to warm up.  Laurie brought a crockpot full of the yummiest chicken and wild rice soup.  Mmmmm.
