No, the words, Christmas and cardio, do NOT go together . . . but neither do Cookies, Cupcakes and Cardio!!! I’m going with it anyway . . . the point is to make them go together.
The gym is closed Christmas Day and Boxing Day! Panic! Seriously, I was worried that I would digress back into my lazy days of the not very distant past . . . ummm, 2 weeks ago.
It was my mission to get up and out for some calorie burning over these two days . . . and that I did!
My cousins were in town to celebrate the holidays with us this year, so Paul and I decided to take them out on some winter Kootenay adventures!
Christmas Day
First up . . . hike up to Big Tree in the Cranbrook Community Forest.
There’s Jeff coming out of the wilderness!
Climbing is cardio!
Ruby, Paul, Jeff and Katrina at Big Tree.
Sure is big!
Paul, Ruby and I at Big Tree.
We decided to continue about 5 minutes further along the trail to Windy Bluff.
Enjoying the view . . . and guided tour from Paul!
Katrina enjoying the snow . . .
. . . and the view.
Boxing Day
We headed out again the next day . . . to enjoy more truly redneck adventures!
“Let’s go shoot guns!”
No, not exactly cardio . . . unless you were in charge of throwing the skeets like I was!
Jeff’s first shot!
Katrina’s first shot!
A great time was had by all . . . especially Jeff who now claims that he is going to get a bunch of different licences so he can shoot things all the time. Oops. Created an obsession.
