And so the second day dawned beautifully.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

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)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Back in the hut, it was time for snacks, lunch, and hanging out with cute babies.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The kids spent some time playing games and reading.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

And then a few of us set out for a wee ski tour.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Up behind the hut, and out across the meadows to McArthur Pass.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Hurrah, it’s fluffy snow!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Conditions weren’t actually all that enticing, but the guys found a rock to climb on top of.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

And to ski off again.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

And the run back down to the hut was actually quite fun. Lovely snow!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

And the grown ups? We sat around and ate even more food. Of course.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

And then, after dinner, it was time for the devouring of the birthday cake! Rainbow style.<\/p>\n
