fun in the snow

We went up to Morgan Lake for a little hike and some sledding.
















The fog and cloud cover were just starting to burn off which lent a ghostly air to the place.


















Colm started talking about skiing about a week ago. Beth took him to the sporting goods store and rented a pair of cross country skis for him. The owner told me later that he'd never seen a kid so excited about getting a pair of skis. Beth took Colm and he began by motoring his away around the back yard.
We went back to Cove this weekend and he and his sister spent a good portion of the time going up and down the driveway which had the right combination of pitch and length for them.
Once they figured out how to get up by themselves after falling, they were totally self sufficient. See for yourself.
