Snowshoeing!

I have to admit that I am so excited to be back to blogging. Why I didn't start blogging again sooner I'll never know. I have been particularily excited to blog about my snowshoeing excursion with my new "gal pals" (as Julie would put it).

Sunday afternoon a couple of us girlies bundled up (me in pants that literally felt like I was wearing a diaper in all the wrong places) to hit the woods (or forest? trails? bush?). Though we have had LOTS of snow (compared to Edmonton, I hear) the weather was mild and the paths were lightly beaten down by some snowmobilers.

It was so refreshing to be in the middle of nature. I truly felt like a northerner and so much so that it spurred on thoughts like "I want to live in the bush. I should buy a snowmobile.I want to go hunting every weekend and the unforseen: "I want to live here forever". Fear not, my city friends, the other day much to some of locals dismay I cried out in my weekness "I miss Walmart!" and I do.

I'm looking forward to Christmas at home but anticipate what other northern treasures I will discover this winter. I have been encouraged to join women's hockey this season but that may be going a little too far for me.

Things on my Northern to-doolie list:

1. snowmobiling
2. hunting
3. ice fishing
4. trip to yellowknife
5. cross country skiing
6. any other northern activity
