Tabitha pulled the sled deeper and deeper in to winter forest. Pip wondered if all of the bears were sleeping…<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

A hill! Pip ventured into the unknown forest depths at a brisk pace.<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"\"<\/a>
It was too fun to move on. Pip climbed back up the hill and instructed Tabitha to slide next.<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
