We survived snowshoeing.

Well I guess I should use the word "snow shoeing" a little loosely. Well let me back track. The snow arrived a little sooner then we thought it might and after much thought we decided to get chains for the car with the thought that "now that we have them we will not need to use them." Also I was told by more then one person that if you don't use the chains you can just take them back. Well they did forget the part about not being able to take them back until APRIL! So even before we have left the church parking lot I have already spent $100 that I did not plan on... oh well that is another story.  Ok back to the snowshoeing. After strapping snowshoes on 18 excited feet we were ready to set out for our 1 1/2 mile walk around frog lake.  After about 1/4 mile, and that may even be stretching the distance a little, we RAN OUT OF SNOW! Well it was about 1:00 at this time so we decided that we would settle down in this big open area and have some lunch instead. On the menu dehydrated pad Thai. I know you are all thinking DELISH how can I get my hands on some of that??? Really it was not as bad as it sounds, don't recommend that you try and reheat it and finish later though.  Well to make a long story short this is where the snowshoeing ended and the memories began. After a almost two hr snow ball fight we packed up and returned home safe and sound. Good thing we did not have to use the chains because I would have had no idea on how to put them on anyways.  But a scout is always prepared so I made sure that I put extra mascara on just in case I needed to bat my eyes at someone so they could help me. ; )
