Baba Yaga Trail



We attended yet another of the Winter Light festivals this weekend. This one even the boys were excited about attending. The festival was held at one of the ski hills, so the boys got to go snow boarding. And I didn't get a single picture of them, because we never saw them in the whole two hours we were there. We went around the trail and got to sled, cross country ski, and snow shoe. Luckily it was fairly warm at about 23 F, but it snowed the whole time we were out. I even tried the cross country skiing. It was pretty fun, maybe I'll think about trying real skiing. The trail was lit up after dark and was having guided tours with story telling about Baba Yaga the witch, but we didn't make it to that. We decided not to wait another hour for that after having been in the cold for over two hours already. And the ski resort was closing for the night. We had a good time though.

Grant has a school field trip to the ski hill in February. I'm going to get Mason some ski lessons on that day, and I just might do it myself.
