THe cold snap continues.. and we have a nice blanket of snow.. We celibrated by hiking a good ways up camels ump and butt sledding down. The snow was over our knees near trhe top.. so we decided not to hit the summit.. but start sleddign sooner.. The snow was even a little too deep for our sleds at times .. but it was awesome !

we decided to show Mya burlington.. so we headed to american flatbred.. .. yummy.. and hen took a little walk around very empty burlignton in the sub zero temps 

we saw a pice in the park that our good freind Marie had co-created. 

then we headed home to make sugar on snow !>. Dieane even had a few cider doughts frozen from the fall !

sweet and delicious way to end a very fun day !
