for the past two years we have managed to start the year off with an adventure. I think we should just make it a tradition now at the Wade Haus (i'm just really into this word right now)
Several months ago the fam planned out a little yurt trip scheduled for the first day of the year. Snow covered trees have proved to be one of my favorite landscapes. The Yurt was right in between Idaho City and Stanley, Idaho. We all woke up early (9 am) to start our adventure and got some snow shoes for our 1.7 mile trek. It was so fun! I thought it would be a lot harder than what it was and i was completely enamored by the frosted trees.
Along the way Mario and I quoted Walter Mitty because, I mean, we were pretty much in the movie at this point. All geared up and walking up to a yurt?! so walter mitty like. A whole year later and we are still obsessed. I did fall about 10 times altogether but the snow was so soft it didn't even phase me.
We got to the yurt and played card games and hung out with the fam. We had to be ready to hike out by 4 a.m to make it for Ari's wisdom teeth appointment. That meant we had to wake up at 3:30 to clean up and get ready to hike out at the wee hours of the morning. My snow gear lived up to it's expectations and kept me soo warm throughout the whole 2 miles haha. I seriously was not one bit cold. That made adventuring so much more fun, not having to constantly think about how cold I was.
I guess I could thank my mj for that, since he packed my adventure gear since I have no idea what to pack for events like those. Especially since, I never ever did those things until I married him. Perks of marrying a mountain man, I guess.
Here's to more adventures to come 2015!
