To celebrate the first day of spring, I decided to give snowshoeing a try today. Jeanine loaned me her gear and I ventured out on a three quarter mile circuit around the inside perimeter of the field behind our house. I was under the misguided impression that snowshoes allow you to remain on top of the snow. This was true to the extent that I did not sink all the way to the bottom of our remaining 30 inch base. Instead, each step would plunge 6 to 10 inches into the powder which made the relatively short trek quite a workout especially considering that I had spent an hour in the gym earlier in the day.

Maya scored a pair of goals in her futsol game today. She has quickly learned the sport and her foot skills improve each week. She is pictured below scoring one of her goals and winning a header.
