Whitetail Weekend

Conditions were great. So were the crowds. 

We welcomed several friends ... Laurie and Duncan, Amelia and family, Hillary and Logan, and Lanna. We also got to see Zara on Sunday.

When the lift lines got too long, the boys built an impressive snow fort / igloo.


At this point 2 boys could fit inside. It got stuffy - so they made air-holes.



By the end there were 2 entrances and 5-6 kids could fit inside!

Air Fryer

Sara acquired an air fryer. RJ used his new cook book to make bagels and churros.

Snow in McLean

Return to McLean


We setup RJ's hockey goal after returning to McLean. Doug is now ready for the beer-league



We had Lego / Dew-After-Dark night ... although this picture makes it look like we were not focused



No School ... Yet 

A snowstorm prevented school from starting on January 6. Kids didn't go back until Jan 9.


Neighborhood gang came over for sledding



Julia made a sno-cone with real snow



Sara took the gang to Potomac School for bigger hills. RJ tried to use the terrible snowboard.

Ski in the new year

New Years Eve in Whitetail

Boys in Costume on New Year's Eve


The Kovacs joined us for New Year's Eve. We watched the fireworks and listened to Mogel's replacement bark all night.

Slopes were not very crowded due to warm weather
