Winter fun in Bridgton

The girls and a couple of their Juliette Girl Scout friends went to Winter Fun Day at Camp Pondicherry yesterday on a truly picture perfect winter day.

Camp Pondicherry's Chalet offers a spectacular view of the area.

The girls did some sledding, which was a little tricky in the deep snow. They had to work pretty hard to make a sledding track down the hill. That's the problem with the less-traveled sledding hills and no snowmobiles to pack down the snow.

And building a snow cave wasn't easy either but as you can see by the girls' faces, they thought it was well-worth the effort.

There were about 30 girls who had a hand in building the snow cave throughout the morning hours so by the time lunch was over, it was quite large.

We also tried snowshoeing for the very first time and my girls and I really enjoyed it but we all agreed cross country skiing was more fun, especially going downhill.

But running is a whole lot easier -- and more fun -- on snowshoes!

We also saw a bunch of animal tracks on the camp's Waterfall Trail.

It was an active day outdoors but the kids did have some indoor fun too making fleece scarves.

And yeah, we were tired by the time we got home yesterday but we did manage to put together a few video clips of our adventure.
