Coffee round a camp fire

The sun returned today. We took a trip (Rolf, Elin, Rod, Astrid, Chris, Elizabeth, John, Jan) along the valley and found a nice place to sit. Collected some wood, and lit a camp fire where Rolf brewed coffee.

Elizabeth came on the trip - her first time out with us on ski's, her first time travelling in a "pulk" (a small sledge for small children that an adult pulls on a harness), and Chris' first time pulling one.

When we got back to the hut Elizabeth played with the snow and her bucket and spade before Farmor and Farfar built her a slide in the snow. After some sliding (and sledging) farfar built a snowman.

More snow

Not so good weather today - more snow. Hopefully it will be better tomorrow.

Sun comes back again. Catherine arrives.

Elizabeth got a La-La from Grandpa to go with Tinky-Winky and Dipsy.

Rod, Rolf, Rolf (jr), John and Chris took a ski-trip to the ski-track crossroads (just over 5 km from the hut). Elin met the group on the way back and she and Rolf then headed to the crossroads while the others headed home.
Rolf (jr) and Chris each took a short trip up on Sangefjell during the afternoon.

Rolf (jr) collected Catherine in the evening - bringing the number of people in the hut up to 8.

A trip to Ål

Snow came again during the afternoon, evening.

Elizabeth wanted to play outside - and so had a short time with her bucket and spade (see pics) before a short trip in her pram.

After the snowy weather up to now - today the sun came out.

We took a longer trip (about 5.5 km) from the hut onto the track that leads towards Nyseth and back.
