Happy New Year, Everyone!
HAPPY NEW YEAR!
Well, it's not quite new year yet where I am. It's not even 7pm yet... but I'm heading off soon to see the fireworks that my small city sets off each new year pretty soon, so I thought that I'd post a well-wishing entry for you all. :) We're one of the last people to celebrate the new year, being the second-furthest west timezone in North America. (Is Hawai'i across the date line? I can't recall...)
Anyway, I've had a pretty good few days. I spent time in Jasper National Park in the Canadian Rockies with my family, skiing and hiking in canyons to see ice waterfalls (I swear photos WILL be forthcoming). Today, dad tested out his new small snowshoes with me. I wore an older pair of his made from wood and rawhide; it's all very traditional, except for the black plastic buckles and black nylon straps to actually attach my boots to the things. Still, it was quite fun! We went walking down River Lot 54, identified animal tracks (dog, deer, and rabbit runs respectively) as well as deer and rabbit scat. I felt very rugged and Canadian, doing this while slogging through/on top of snowdrifts deeper than my knees. Super fun!
Here's hoping that the new year is awesome for you all (and me)! :D
