Cross Country Ski Trip

This weekend we went on a overnight ski trip with the school's outdoor activities group. We went last year as well, but for some reason this year was better. We had so much fun and we meant some new friends. It is always fun to get away from life and just relax and enjoy the outdoors. We lefted friday afternoon and got there around five o clock then we got our gear on and skied about 1 and 1/2 miles to the yurt which is where we were staying, then we had dinner and played games then went to bed. Cross country skiing is definitely a workout but it was fun at the same time. It was so nice to spend time with each other and not worrying about homework or other worldly thing. The next day we packed up and skied back to our cars. While I was skiing I was noticing how beautiful snow looks with mountains and trees, I really appreciate nature more when I'm around it and close to it. It made me think how great this earth is and God's creation. I think we need to take a break from life's craziness and look at everything around us and be grateful for what we have.
