I went out snowshoeing on Saturday with some family. It felt so rejuvenating to get out in the fresh air. We drove out to Kananaskis where there was a lot of snow to explore. The weather was beautiful and sunny, and I needed to get out in nature to re-charge my batteries. Snowshoeing is not only great exercise, but it is so easy. You can rent snowshoes at many different places in Calgary.
After snowshoeing for about an hour, we had lunch at the top of the trail, and we were joined by four lovely ladies who were out snowshoeing with their dogs. They gave us the wonderful idea to use the garbage bags we brought to sit on as toboggans. So we spent almost an hour sliding down the steep hill and climbing back up! We had many fast runs, and many wipe-outs, until we were exhausted and ready to continue on the trail.

I guess what I learned is that sometimes you need to get out and act like a kid. I know that I get caught up with work and the stress of day-to-day life. Kids can show us how much fun we can have. And I sure had it snowshoeing and tobogganing in the mountains! So do something this weekend that you did as a kid. You'll be smiling all week long!
