We started out the day with a loaf of my 48 hour fermented multigrain bread.
We did some schooling, played dress up with some summer hats, and got creative with some homemade play dough.
We then went on our most challenging hike to date. While not intentional, we ended up doing 4 km, much of which was breaking trail through fresh snow. There might have been one set of tracks in front of us but the prints we were following were much too often (for our liking anyway) covered up by deep snow drifts. The trek left us all completely exhausted, except Alistair, of course. He offered the welcome distraction of a special toddler rendition of Twinkle Twinkle Little Star (on repeat) sung with gusto from his baby carrier. He was also sure to ask, "Okay? Fine? I'm fine. Stop? Why? Okay? Go! Go! Go!" every time I stopped walking even for a second.
We capped our day off with a pizza delivery and a big homemade salad. This dinner was a well deserved treat, indeed, after such a busy day.
I promised the boys no hiking tomorrow so we are on the look out for something else to do. Shovelling snow? Ice skating? Barn mucking? The sky's the limit!
