Don't Blame it on Sunshine
Don't Blame it on Moonlight
Don't Blame it on the Good Times
Blame it on the Boogie.
I heard this little gem while listening to 70's satellite radio this weekend and it has wormed it's way into my brain and lodged itself there. Because I can't seem to get rid of it, I've decided to adopt it as my New Year's Mantra: OW! Sunshine! Mmmm. Moonlight. Good Times. Boogie.
On New Year's Eve day, we started our day with a hike/run up and down Sulphur. Both Keith and I hadn't been up there in awhile and we lingered at the house until the temperatures warmed up to a balmy -19c. I forgot the camera for photo documentation, but we had loads of fun. I'm trying to get my hubby and I back in some kind of regular running - the running has been inconsistent. My theory is it's all good as long as we're getting out. The trip up Sulphur took us almost a couple of hours and it was good to be out and about with just my honey and me!
After our jaunt up Sulphur Mountain we did a quick turn-around and headed back out to Lake Minnewanka for a late day adventure. We joined up with Anna and Stew and their 2 dogs Kona and Oscar.
Anna and Stew were determined to spend New Year's Eve winter camping, so we helped them carry out some extra gear on this freezing cold day. That gear included lots of sleeping gear, chocolate and lots of liquid in the form of hot wine and hot boozy coffee. Got to keep your lady warm and happy on New Year's!!
It was a great day. It took us a couple of hours to travel the 8km to the campground and Keith and I came back on the ice across the lake in less than an hour. It was so bright on the frozen snowy lake that we didn't even need our headlamps. So, sing-a-long with me as we dance our way into the New Year....
