On Sunday, Michael and I met Amy to go for a nice hike. We were actually meeting to go snowshoeing, but that didn't last too long for Michael and me. We both really dislike snowshoeing, but our friend, Amy, hasn't been able to do many winter outdoor activities because of ankle issues and she asked us if we would go with snowshoeing with her. We happily said yes since it was Amy. :) We met at a trail that we have hiked in the summer, Potters Creek. This is a really nice trail. The snow along the trail actually turned out to be pretty compacted, so after about 5 minutes, I took off my snowshoes! 
Michael ended up taking off his snowshoes too a little later. Amy kept hers on the whole time though! :)
The views were amazing! It was such a gorgeous day and I'm so glad Amy invited us to go! It was also pretty refreshing to be outside in the fresh air! The above photo is of the mud flats splattered with ice! Alaska looks so different every season! 
During our hike, we came across a tree that had been decorated for Christmas. I know one of our online outdoor groups does this and they are supposed to go back out and collect all of the ornaments after a few weeks. Maybe whoever decorated this tree hasn't gotten around to undecorating it. You don't want to leave the ornaments out too long because the animals could eat the ornaments. However, this was a pretty nice surprise to come across a decorated tree! :)
