Shoein'



Alex got some awesome hand me down snowshoes from the neighbor this year so that means Maya inherited the "snow stompers" as Alex dubbed them. (the kid's Redfeather snowshoes he had that make Yeti tracks in the snow)
Alex is loving his new ones, they are smaller and lighter and have the crampons on the bottom for climbing better.
Maya is doing a great job with the stompers. They are wider and I was afraid she'd have trouble getting use to having her feet out wider, I know Alex didn't really go full swing on them until he was 4. She caught on right away and just catches a toe every now and then and falls down.
Alex had them going through quite an obstacle course today - over snowbanks, touch that tree, go around the bush, over the other snowbank.....
It was fun to watch.
I shoveled.
That wasn't quite as much fun.

Looks like fun! I'm hoping we get a little snow this weekend too. It's looking dreary around here. And icy, the kids can walk on top in some places it's so hard. Other places are almost bare it was so windy earlier.
