Fun in the snow

Last weekend Kerry and I went showshoeing , yes this is a real thing. Anyone remember the cartoons where people strap tennis racquets to their feet and walk around on the snow? Well they really do that here. Kerry found a place that would rent us both shoes and poles for the weekend and several parks in the area have trails for such a thing. I personally had a lot of fun and I think Kerry did also. They are surprisingly easy to walk in and give you a lot of traction on the snow. The poles, which are nothing more that ski poles, were also very helpful. It had just snowed over 6 inches that week which provided for some great scenery. Both Kerry and I took pictures so hopefully I’ll have them up soon.
