A couple of weekends ago we experienced a rare event here in Ann Arbor--a wintery weekend day with beautiful blue skies and snow on the ground. To celebrate, a bunch of us EEB-ers took our snowhsoes out to Pinckney state park. Not all of us own snowhoes. One of the first-year students (L'il Brian) happens to have a collection of ancient snowshoes that normally hang on his wall. He took them down and loaned them out for this event. I was thankful to have my own modern snowhoes after seeing the old ones in action. All in all we had 8 people and 7 dogs! We finished the trip off with cheddar ale soup, beer bread, and cookies at Brian and Heather's house by the fire. What a great day.
I was hoping to get a lot of pictures, but it has been so long since I used my camera that I forgot to charge the batteries. So, I only got about 3 photos. Fortunately, Brian and Heather had their camera too. I'm only responsible for the first photo--the rest are theirs.

That looks like an absolutely fabulous day. Glad you found snowshoes for everyone, and that all the dogs got along. I think my favorite part of your day would have been the cheddar ale soup and beer bread. mmmm.....
Ahhh, a little bit of Utah came your way. My favorite part of your day, ancient snowshoes. There are great people in Ann Arbor.
Snowshoes, Schomeshoes... Just look at that menagerie!
Lauren loved your virtual dog park!
