"Come live with me and be my love,/ And we will all the pleasures prove,/ That valleys, groves, hills and fields,/ Woods or steepy mountains yields." --Christopher Marlowe (1564-1593)

Winter Activities

We've settled back into our normal routine the last few weeks. The last two weekends we've taken advantage of all the snow we've had this year and gone cross-country skiing. Claire lasts about an hour in the backpack, though the part she dislikes the most is getting all bundled up!


Yesterday we skied at Mount Haggin ski trails, about 1 1/2 hours from our house. We love going here for the uncrowded trails, great conditions, and "The Soup Shack" located across the road. They've expanded to more of a "Soup Lodge" this year, but the amazing soup and desserts haven't changed...it's pretty easy to talk myself into a piece of pie after skiing (and all the effort it takes to get ready to ski with a toddler!).

After we did a loop with Claire, Nate skiied some more while I pulled Claire in the sled.

I want to go to the soup shack... Claire looks like she's getting so big. I hope I can get to see her soon!
