More Misawa Snow

I thought we got a lot of snow last winter, but apparently that was just an average winter for Misawa. This year has been above average... the snow just keeps coming!

It turns out that Chris is an excellent snow shoveler. I was skeptical at first, because he always managed to be deployed or TDY during our heavy snowfalls. :) It also turns out that I'm an incredibly ineffective snow shoveler while pregnant. Thank goodness Chris didn't deploy this winter!

I'll leave the snow shoveling to Chris... I'll take care of exercising the dog. The golf course near our house turns into a snowshoe paradise during the winter. Huck and Lowen (Alison's dog) can barely contain their excitement when we take them to the golf course.

It was an amazing morning... sunny, warm, and clear with about 6 inches of fresh snow.

The golf course is getting pretty deep for Huck.

But clearly he doesn't mind.

Have I mentioned that I love Misawa winters?!

38 weeks pregnant, and it turns out that snowshoeing for over an hour is not enough to kick-start labor :). 

...But it's more than enough to tire out a couple of dogs! Lowen didn't leave my snowshoe tracks for the entire walk back to the house. She was pretty wiped out. That was Sunday... it's Tuesday now and my maternity leave just started... I hope she's up for another morning at the golf course! :)
