After our day of sledding behind the dogs, we were treated to a find banquet of salmon and mushroom soup. The mushrooms were locally foraged and the soup was to die for. Above you see the salmon staked to boards and cooked over the open fire. It was really delicious.
This being our last night, we headed back to the lodge for a "party". This was a ruse to cover for the arrival of Santa who came to see us again before our adventure ended. He arrived in a reindeer drawn sleigh accompanied by two of his elves.
He was greeted by some very happy children.
And then he sat and talk a bit and led a sing-a-long on several
Christmas songs.
Of course, there were more gifts (stuffed reindeer dolls) for which Santa had to get lots of hugs.
This was followed by a round of family photos. Before he left, Santa went around the room and gave all the adults a hug. There as not a dry eye in the house be the time he left. Back outside, he mounted his sleigh and he and his elves left.
What a wonderful time we had. I highly recommend that you go on this adventure. If you are interested, you can learn more at their web site:
