More outdoor fun

From 20090831-BoatingAndSnowshoeing

It was such a nice day last weekend, we had to get out for some boating.

Despite earlier threats of freezing, the ocean around us still has many passages through the bergs. There are definitely some interesting and somewhat intimidating chunks of ice floating around out there.

Of course our seal friends and some of their bird friends are still hanging around.

This one had some weird tendrils coming down off of it.

Later I was able to get out for a bit of snowshoeing before the weekend was over.

A friend and I found an ice wall on the north side of the backyard which could provide some pretty kickass ice climbing in the near future. Next weekend perhaps?

It was a good weekend. It was great to get outside for a while.
