We had plans for a big night on New Years Eve. We were going to go downtown and brave the crowds to watch fireworks and see shows... but it has been so cold... I ran out to the store around 4pm and it was already freezing...I knew we wouldn't last all night outside in the cold. So instead, we stayed home and played games. We put a countdown on Netflix around 8pm and did a New Years celebration with the kids. They were excited because they thought they got to stay up till midnight. But we had them in bed by 9pm. It was awesome.
And as for New Years Resolutions, Luke and I have signed up for some races. We are both doing a half marathon in April and Luke is signed up for a full Marathon in May. This means lots and lots of running.
The first weekend of the New Year we headed up to Rocky Mountain National Park for some snowshoeing. Apparently everyone else had the same idea:
Once we finally got to the trailhead, Luke got to carry all the gear
The kids were excited to try on their snowshoes.
But walking in them turned out harder than they expected. Lots of tears before we even started the walk
Here we are finally heading out for the walk
Turns out snowshoeing takes much longer than anticipated. We had to be very patient. The kids wanted to sit and play in the snow more than they wanted to walk.
By the end of the hike both kids were very tired. Lily had enough of snowshoeing.
So we brought out the sled and found a hill to send the kids down. They had so much fun.
