A Sunday in pictures

The weather here was beautiful yesterday.. not a cloud in the sky and barely even windy. We really feel the need to take advantage of days like this, so after church we went on a snowshoeing adventure.

We went up to Whitehills, which is right in the city really... at the east end of St. John's right next to the ocean. It's about a 10 minute drive from our house. There are so many trails!

Sparkly snow!

An icicle tree.

The area is used for mountain biking in the summer, so there are fun ramps on the trails and some good steep hills.

Straight ahead you can see the city...

And in the other direction you can see the ocean! Blackhead straight ahead, and Cape Spear to the left (the snowy hills in the distance).

We stopped for a tea and snack break.

Happy hiker.

Bronwen getting tired.. but she didn't close her eyes the whole time we were out. Didn't want to miss anything!

Brian made a delicious dinner. We had salad with feta, figs and almonds..

'If I don't get some food soon, I'm going to rip this tray right off...'

And then we had delicious pork with balsamic fig sauce and baked potato fries.

I went to a ladies night at a church just up the road. It was supposed to be last Sunday, for Valentine's Day, but got cancelled because of the weather so it was yesterday instead!  The main event was cake decorating and it was really fun! Everyone got their own cake, piping bag, icing tips, and bowl of icing. They had piles of candies, sprinkles, chocolate, and even fondant to decorate with. I tried my hand at fondant to make the bear and it was really fun. I don't think he will be very tasty but it's fun to look at.

An excellent Sunday and a good start to the last week of February!
