Since Emily and I brought our XC ski's we skied on the road into our campsite. We headed down the road for about an hour (maybe going a little over a mile) and found a nice little spot just off the main road. I was pulling a sled behind me and skiing, which proved pretty difficult at time, especially when I was trying to go up hills. To be fair, I did have a good deal of weight on my sled, like our 15-foot Christmas tree chopped up, my backpack, our tent, etc. So I was always the straggler.
Emily and I had some yummy campfire-pizzas that we made in our pudge iron. But the fire was pretty lame because it kept sinkiing down in the deep snow pack. It got pretty cold during the night, probably down around zero. Emily was nice and warm b/c she had two extra blankets on her. I was a litle colder and didn't get much sleep. But we had a great time the next day.

Neil doing his best sled-dog impersonation. The sled was heavy and hard to pull uphill. Especially since the sled would pull me back down the hill sometimes.

Better watch out or the peanut will be born with a layer of blubber and some down like a penguin!
That sounds like fun. Too cold for me though. You guys do keep busy in the great out doors even when it may be so cold to bite you in the butt.
