Madd Max Skates On Heron Pond

This trip came out of Max's deep desire for the past few years to skate on the lake.

 

The ice on Lake Chocorua was deemed not to be the best, so the fam headed over to Heron Pond, where Max finally got his wish.

His audience.

 

After all of the morning's activities, it was time to head the house for a microwaved lunch.

Content diners.

Warming up by the wood stove.

 

Max rounded out the day at a new sledding spot.  Maddie was very excited to have experienced "natural snow."
