Girls Gone Snowshoeing... Again!

FINALLY got back into snowshoeing after a couple of months off. Last weekend just Amber and I went and we had a great time!! We went to a new area, a trail near Bear Lake in Rocky Mountain National Park. If you know the area, it is a trail that heads up toward Nymph Lake and Dream Lake. It was much steeper than what we've done previously so it was a little tougher, but I absolutely loved it!

The snow was, well, a BIT deep....!

All the signs were covered in snow. Someone dug this one out, but most we never even saw. Probably walked right over them.

We had lots of fun along the way!

Check out Amber's snow chick!! I think it looks like a marshmallow peep :)

Saw lots of pretty scenery...

Altogether we snowshoed a little over 2 hours and 2.5 miles. Pretty good for how steep it was! Afterward we went to our favorite spot up there, Peak to Peak American Grille and I tried a pesto shrimp flatbread pizza. I ate about a slice and a half of this personal size pizza.

Great day :)

Friends Like This...

Are so hard to come by! Do you know Sheila from This One Body? I am lucky enough to know this great gal in real life :) We met last year when she was researching the sleeve. We have many things in common such as the same surgeon, going through surgery with our husbands, etc - and so much more that we find as we get to know each other. We met up before she had her surgery and we have been trying to meet up again for a VERY long time... we were finally successful!

She beat me to the punch and blogged about our meeting already... she had such kind words to say about me that made me feel so special. I feel the same way about her - what a great person and I hope we will get the chance to become better and better friends :)

She is rocking her sleeve and has lost over 60 lbs. She did the math and said that between us we have lost 167 lbs combined! Isn't that something? I don't think we are looking half bad ;)

Love this lady! If you haven't already checked out her blog, please do so. Her blog has really taken off and it's a great read!

Thanks for the pics Sheila!
