The New Years Eve weekend at the Evening Star was accompanied by some really weird weather. An all day rain on top of the 12 or so inches of snow was on the menu for New Years Eve day, turning to glare ice as the temperatures dropped during the night. Fortunately, we were snug as bugs in front of the fire. 
The evening activities were varied; scrabble, ping-pong, movies (Mel Brooks High Anxiety and Young Frankenstein for the kids), but the highlight was listening to the snap of the mousetraps as our furry friends were having their last bite of peanut butter.
New Years Day started off at 10 degrees below zero and was spent snowshoeing, skiing, sauna-ing, reading, playing games, and lots of eating, and some drinking by the adults to forget about the mice.
While on a snowshoe back by the State Park boundary, I came across many rabbit tracks, and what I think are bobcat tracks.
A great weekend with our human and furry friends.
Stay tuned next week for an update on conditions inside and outside the Evening Star.
Fantastic time ! As usual, Ben stole the breakfast show with his amazing pancakes. Marcie wowed the troops with gorgeous stew and bread. Food was not lacking!!!! The kids did such a nice job staying entertained. The fort could probably use an addition but a fire was made complete with marshmallows. Thank you again so much!!!!!!
