Snowshoeing in the Park

Finally, after a winter full of never ending snow and cold temperatures, we were able to go out and snowshoe.  First, we read "Deep Snow" by Robert Munsch and tried walking in the deep snow down in Legion Park.  The kids learned how hard it was to walk in such deep snow and were puffing and sweating when we were done.  Later, in March, we went back with the help of Mrs. McArthur, and tried it again with snowshoes on.  It took a while to get the hang of it.  There were a few falls and many lost snowshoes, but after we got a few trails made, it was much easier.  The kids enjoyed learning something new and a few thought it was even better than centers!! :)
