Kathleen Carlson of Falmouth encourages her son, Ronan, 2, on Sunday at the Auburn Nordic Ski Association. She and her husband, Daniel, center, take turns pulling the sled with their four-month-old baby Jude. Their oldest son, Levi, 4, was skiing on the trail ahead of them. The family enjoys skiing together. “It’s a fun way to get out with all of them, get some fresh air, get them some exercise and it’s a workout for us,” said Daniel. “It checks a lot of boxes.” Andree Kehn/Sun Journal
