The Almeida family has moved to Raising Maine. They still will be exploring Maine's outdoors, creating crafty projects and casting chickens in homemade videos. But you will see it all in their new blog.
The couple of inches that fell early yesterday morning turned the former ice skating rink conditions at Fuller Farm into great cross country skiing conditions.
And we were clearly not the only family to have decided it was necessary to get out and enjoy the unexpected snow.
The kids loved making the first ski tracks through the hills at the farm and spent a lot of time skiing down them. There is a challenge to skiing dowhill on cross country skis on ungroomed trails (skiing downhill was much easier yesterday) and keeping your balance. You never know what rut under the snow is going to knock you down.
After a while the kids and their friends got creative with their skiing style thinking it was fun to balance themselves going downhill while squating. If you've ever tried this you'll know it's probably a little harder than standing up.
