Beautiful Winter Afternoon

Cross country skiing really is an under appreciated sport. It's great exercise, it works all the muscles in the body, and even at a moderate pace, you can keep up a conversation with your companion. Or the nice people you meet on the trail. That say hello to you and comment on the baby on your husband's back. Yes, you read that right. We went cross country skiing this afternoon and Tim carried Sam the whole time on his back in our moby wrap. We used the "hike hold" (this link is to another blog that has the directions on how to apply the wrap for this hold. For some reason the Moby website doesn't list this hold anymore...). It was so nice to get outside, to have fun while exercising (I checked a calorie calculator, and for 1 hour 20 minutes of moderate skiing, I burned ~650 calories!) and to spend some time with my two favorite guys. We even took some video, which my husband put together to document the occasion. Enjoy!

Get out and enjoy the outdoors! It's free, it's environmentally-friendly and it's good for you! :)
