Active 365 Days: Day 50 - Family Snow Shoe

So as we all head into the new year we are all faced with the concept of New Years resolutions. Oh I have made
them before only to fall short of my goal as life (family and work) take over my good intentions. So this year I decided to get my friend Angela involved in my New Year resolution so that I have to be accountable to someone other than myself. Oh, I guess this would be a good place to tell you what my New Years Resolutionis.........well the plan is to be physically active for a minimum of 30 minutes for all 365 days of the year. That is right every single day of 2012. So now you might be asking why are you blogging about it? Well Angela and I were trying to figure out how to keep each other on track, she lives in London and I live in Collingwood. We tried google calendar but that was really frustrating and then Angela sent me an excel sheet that had dates on it and that is not that much fun. So when I was snowshoeing the other day I thought to myself maybe I should blog about our efforts - make us accountable not only to each other but anyone else who might be interested in what we are up to. So that is the beginning of this blog I hope you enjoy and I look forward to your comments.

Day 50 - Family Snow Shoe

Today is Saturday - we started out with a hockey game - Kade's team worked really hard this morning but could not pull it together for a win - what a great game to watch though.

Then the family headed to Osler to go snow shoeing. I took Sean and the boys on the uphill trail that the girls and I shoe on Saturdays. It was a slow start with some complaining -"are we at the top yet?" and "I'm hot" but once we got a layer off and wrapped their heads around the trail heading up hill we had a great time.

The boys liked the climb through the rock cut but really, really liked the downhills - or the jumping down the hills. When we got to the top we met up with some friends - Jim, Cath, Evan and Caleb - for a visit and a snack - they were skiing for the day.
