As indicated in an earlier post, we spent this Thanksgiving up in the White Mountains, in the wonderful comfort of the Highland Center. My parents drove up from New Hampshire to spend the holiday with us and everyone had a great time. (Click on the photo to see more images from our trip.)

We filled the daytime with a lot of hiking and playing, and the evenings with games and stories. We did a number of short hikes and a few more ambitious hikes but also had fun building snow forts and messing around in the powder in front of the lodge.

Caleb had a fantastic time and really enjoyed winter hiking. His boots performed wonderfully though his mittens became wet due to frequent contact with the snow. Even so, Caleb’s hands stayed nice and warm and everyone was happy to be out in the cold and snow.

For evening games, we played Caleb’s favorite version of ping-pong each night (”Crazy Ball!!”), a round of CandyLand, and some hide-and-go-seek.

We look forward to our next trip to the White Mountains and certainly to the Highland Center.

(Thank you Vinnie for being so hospitable!)
