new outdoor adventure!

My winter adventure. It was crazy, all this snow in one night! It started as a risky ride trying to get back to my apartment. I finally made it after a 10 minute drive turned into 50 minute drive. I thought to myself there is absolutely no way that I am going out  int hat again. And then, the next day we had a snow day. Downstate my family was enjoying the lovely fall weather meanwhile I'm freezing and trying to figure out how to survive this snow-in with only a small stock of food. So I was stuck, nothing to do on the inside, so I decided to take advantage of this winter wonderland and went to play outside.
My dad built me snowshoes, I had never tried snowshoeing before. walking out the door was like getting blasted in the face with a polar vortex. I guess thats what the weathermen would call it anyway. My first attempts at walking above the snow were very wobbly and unstable. It felt like I was learning to walk again for the first time. there is a certain art to snowshoes. There is a lovely little hill right behind my apartment that I decided to tackle.

The weather was scary to say the least. I felt like an arctic explorer all bundled up in about ten layers of clothes. I gave up on the snowshoes after I tumbled down filling my face with a  wonderful bunch of snow. So instead I built a snowman. Being outside in the snow is so wonderful. I love winter. I hate driving in it, but I love exploring using my own two legs and eyes. If it hadn't been so difficult to get out I would have gone even farther. I will never forget this wonderful double snowday.
