Alexia opted out of sledding in favor of spending some time at Lang's Horse and Pony Farm with Josie.
On the way to Mt. Baker we stopped in Sedro-Woolley to pick up M's friend Allie
I wore snowshoes and the girls followed behind me with sleds in tow.
We made it all of a quarter mile from the parking lot when they were already tired of post-holing.
Lucky for us we happened to find a fresh steep slope just perfect for the occasion. I did my best to tromp down a trench for them to ascend the hill but they were on their own in creating a sledding route. All that fresh powder (and a lack of wax on the sleds) made for a bit of stop-and-go attempts, but it was clear they were having a fun time anyway. A few photos and a few videos were taken.

While sledding was a lot of fun, I suspect that the lunch break may leave a longer lasting impression on them.
This was the first time the two had Robber Jays join them for lunch. Here is a short video and a couple of screen shots for you:

We lasted all of three hours before calling it quits with completely diluted gloves and boots.
Welcome to winter!
How many days until summer?
