And so the second day dawned beautifully.
After breakfast, and the requisite sitting about, we decided to get out and build the Epic Toboggan Run. (The Moosling thinks everything is epic these days)
After a fair bit of digging and compaction, we started sending down some sleds. And then a whale, in a short-lived return of alpine whaling.
It turns out whales don’t handle cold temperatures very well, they’re better suited for spring conditions. The toboggan run was a hit otherwise, with constant laps up and down the hill.
Back in the hut, it was time for snacks, lunch, and hanging out with cute babies.
The kids spent some time playing games and reading.
And then a few of us set out for a wee ski tour.
Up behind the hut, and out across the meadows to McArthur Pass.
Hurrah, it’s fluffy snow!
Conditions weren’t actually all that enticing, but the guys found a rock to climb on top of.
And to ski off again.
And the run back down to the hut was actually quite fun. Lovely snow!
A few of us went out to offer a hand to some of the crew who were skiing in. Then the kids were back at the games, playing Settlers of Catan like fiends.
And the grown ups? We sat around and ate even more food. Of course.
And then, after dinner, it was time for the devouring of the birthday cake! Rainbow style.
