A Pug And A Panda Go Tobogganing<\/h4>\n

These pictures were taken on February 1st, the day before Pip’s birthday. We had a new, unexpected snowfall and Pip wanted to go tobogganing but her sisters didn’t want to; so, I said I’d join her. We headed up the mountains near our home for a magical winter’s day.\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

*I am so happy that we did as the snow melted within days and spring arrived before we were ready for it!<\/em><\/p>\n

The day had an otherworldly quality to it. We’d no sooner crept from the forest, nearing the mountain top when,\u00a0ZOOM!<\/em>\u00a0a snowboarder flew past us. I said, “Whoa, you came out of nowhere!” The boarder stopped and in a slow American drawl said, I \u00a0couldn’t wait for a trip to the ski hills because I’m\u00a0from Kansas and I wanted to try boarding now!<\/strong><\/em> Well, Dorothy certainly wasn’t in Kansas anymore and Pip and I felt that we were no longer in Kelowna either\u2014the day seemed too enchanted for us to be Kelowna.<\/p>\n

We decided that since we were possibly experiencing a parallel universe moment, we might as well throw caution to the wind and free-style our way down the mountain on the toboggan<\/strong>. Honestly, it was as though we were in a Harry Potte<\/em>r movie. The sled floated through the snow and down the mountain side while I frantically steered us (dodging ponderosa pine and fir trees) and the dogs ran beside us. We survived, having to abort the slide once the mountain side turned into a vertical drop.<\/p>\n

It’s true, we hit a few rocks along the way; the toboggan’s on the flimsy side. Pip was unscathed but I had a hard time sitting for a few days. However, it seems that if I don’t hurt myself weekly, it means I’m not having enough fun.<\/p>\n

I hope you enjoy the pictures from our enchanted winter’s day in Parallel Universe Kelowna.<\/strong>..<\/p>\n
