The Snowman

Using the lake as a source, I rolled 3 very misshapen snow balls. Jon did the heavy lifting, but my back still ached. Clearly I'm out of practice...
My wonky rolling required a lot of reshaping with snow. I also had to fight off three dogs from peeing on Mr. Snowman.
Brinkley got over his fear of snow people enough to "help" me with the decorations (he is a service breed).
He then decided that the pinecone buttons weren't really needed on the snow man and he ate the ones he could reach.

First Activity of 2008!

After a relativly un-eventful return to Calgary we decided that we had to do something before I started work and the looong vacation came to end. The snow is not great but there is enough in K-country to make it feel like winter and allow for snowshoeing. We repeated the loop we'd done a couple years ago but it was still quite beautiful and the exercise did us good.

The terraine was rough. Ok, its Andrew just messing around...
