New Year's Welcome

The past two mornings, we have woken up to fresh snowfall. This is the greatest part of living in the woods in winter. New powder, snowshoeing on the forest trails, sledding down Camp Chingachgook's wowie-zowie tubing hill.

We're kicking off 2010 in outdoor style. On New Year's morning, friends from town tekked up to camp to tromp and slide around outside with us. In the afternoon, a neighbor and her boyfriend dropped by to borrow Fenway so they could have a little canine company on their winter hike. In the evening, Gramma Lolly and Baba Mike arrived, and we all slept well enough to go out into it again this morning. More tubing today and major snowball volleys, followed by a staff reunion in which a handful of hardy souls jumped into the frigid waters of Lake George. We camp folks know how to jump-start a decade!

Another storm is moving in tonight with another 6-10 inches predicted. We can't wait to see what the rest of winter has in store for us.
