Well, the annual Sno Rodeo is in full swing! Elmbrook came up on Dec. 27th and we actually had snow this year to welcome them! The kids and I spent most of the day at camp today. We first went cross-country skiing, then tubing and then to Campgrounds (the coffee shop) to greet past staff and warm up. I realize times aren't what they used to be. There are kids out doing stuff, but the ski trails were fairly empty, the tubing hill only had a few but the coffee shop and dining hall were pretty full! When I first came to Fort, you weren't sure if you could fit in cross-country skiing because there may not be enough skis available. Now, we're not sure if we can sit down and have a coffee, but the trails were empty. Interests are sure changing! I encourage any families coming up to get the kids out on the trails and in nature. It was great exercise and they can learn a lot.
Off we go...
Kyle is doing great...
Sammie was too...except this fall.

I couldn't agree with you more on the "get out and ski" sentiment!!! I have downhill skiied for years, but my first taste of cross country was at FORT three years ago. Wow, I love the workout that it is - not to mention the close call with nature.
It does instill endurance, because you have to keep going to get back, and the satisfaction afterwards - priceless.....
I'm totally hoping to get my cabin of girls out on the trails in two weeks time.
