Cross-country Skiing Rules!

Today was our phy. ed. trip to Baker Park Reserve to go cross-country skiing & snow shoeing.  The 8th graders had a great time, & I am exhausted from all of the exercise!  Here are a few snapshots of our adventure.

Mrs. Nelson & her group from the morning session

Marie Jakubowski (not sitting in the snow) & Maddi Bartlett (oops,  I fell!)

Brianna Graner & a few of her friends enjoying a hot chocolate after skiing & snow shoeing in the morning session

This is a picture of my group heading out in the afternoon session.  This gang did an awesome job, & even had time to finish the "Island Course"  Pictured are Daina Strub, Elizabeth McMillen, Sam Schuneman, Kane Vogel, Heather Olsen, & Jake Muhonen

Baker Park is very scenic.  Here are three deer that are just to the south of our path on the "Island Course"  I wanted to zoom in the picture, but they were moving fast!

Justin Stoffers & Tabby Kaufhold are about to go down the first hill of the "Fairway Course".  You can see Victoria Smith & another group member have already wiped out.  This group has been on skis for approximately five minutes as of this shot.
