xc ski: la vattay

We are having some beautiful sunny days as the temperatures are starting to rise. I rode up to La Vattay with a friend for an afternoon of cross country skiing in the Jura. She was able to rent a sled to pull her napping kiddo behind us for a hilly 8k loop. This takes care of my at least-once-a-year cross country ski requirement before the snow melts...so bring on the springtime. 

choully picnic

Hooray for early springtime! Today we gathered with friends and kids and dogs for a picnic and playing in the grass, complete with Cerdon, roasting sausages over a fire, and doing our very best to bask in every minute of sunshine.
