Spring Break Cabin
The girls and I skied out to the ER cabin for a couple of nights of spring camping.
Carried a pack and pulled a sled.
This is what I looked like hiking out.
And here is where we stayed.
Actually, this is it.
Outside our door
Rough life for a lab.
Bunkbed headlamp activities.
Chilly, but bright morning hike.
Good quality sister time.
They spend a lot of time out along the water, on their own, away from the cabin.
David joined us for day 2.
Super fun girl time.
Hard to leave.
Tree elf.

Only 40-50 MPH Winds
A hardy group of Alaskan youth explored the snow caves in tough conditions.
In and out of caves they ran and crawled, unaffected by the high winds and stinging ice crystals.
Charlie kept an eye on the kids as they rolled down the hill.

Snow Caves and Kid Ski
WE FOUND THE SNOW CAVES!!!
Very cool.
Girls LOVED them.
Girls gearing up for downhill ski to Prospect
The Goves are off.
Sadie gets a tow.
And Sadie is off...
In the Mountains
We braved the chilly windy conditions in search of the snow caves.
Lots of trudging,
but no snow caves.
Hot cocoa in the trees was good.
Maren built her own snow cave.
Run down to the car.
