First Snowshoeing Adventure of '09 and GO UTES!!!!!

So I want to start off by saying GO UTES!!! They played and amazing game in the Sugar Bowl against No. 4 rated Alabama - the famed Crimson Tide who was ranked No. 1 in the BCS for several weeks during the season. The Utes not only won, but absolutely kicked their asses. Thank God because the NFL has been such a bummer for Eric and me this year. Thanks for leaving us with good feelings towards football guys!


On Saturday we went snowshoeing for the first time this year up Millcreek canyon. They close the road up to Dog Lake and groom it for snowshoeing/cross county skiing and on odd days you can take dogs up there without leashes. It was cold, but when you're exercising, it's perfect.


I just thought this looked really pretty, the water running through the frozen land.



And just look at this! Gorgeous blue sky, snow covered trees and a handsome fiance with your sweet doggies. Could it have been any more perfect of a day?

Here we are... I don't know what it is about the camera that makes Eric's eyes want to be closed, but this is as good as it gets.

Unfortunately, I have to report that our little Nanuk is really getting older. We only went up about 1 mile... maybe... and he was suffering big time. By the time we got down, he was barely moving. I felt so bad for him. Just small walks with him... sad. We better enjoy any kind of outdoor activity with him because those days are numbered.
