She'd of course given the WOE a nuzzle on the trunk and a firm, resolute nod. The babyphants were under her care, she would see to it they had fun and were to be returned in one piece.<br/><br/>The Happy Spirit bobbed too and fro as she weaved in between her Parade of Elephant babies, all of whom were marching and laughing as they made their way up the side of the mountain (https://cdn1.snowpak.com/images/images/000/010/198/medium/Copy_of_Copy_of_Snowshoe-Plenty_of_skiable_terrain_and_enchanting_snow_covered_trees%28Credit--Resort-website%29.jpg?1597710250). She'd picked the easiest course, of course, the widest path, the smallest hill. When she was feeling particularly adventurey she would wander all the way to the tippy toppest of the peaks, though she didn't want to tire the babies. Not that they seemed to get tired. Filled with a boundless energy, she only had to nudge one or two to keep them on course and from getting too far away from the others. They'd laughed and played and thrown snowballs at each other but when they finally reached the top, they were silent, just for a moment. This high up, the snow hadn't fully melted yet and it was still a winter paradise.<br/><br/>The view was always fun, from the highest point you could see forever, but even from this height one could see so far. So many other places and things to explore, but it was nice to see it all. She let out a loud WHOOP! Noise which echoed far and wide, the babyphants soon joining in and mimicking the shouts which echoed all about. But soon, far too soon it was time to go down the hill. They all looked a bit daunted at making the hike again, but the Happy Spirit nudged them towards one of the trees with a smile on her face.<br/><br/>The trees were always so helpful around here, she thought, as they zipped down the side of the mountain. The large tree's helpfully shed their bark into large curved shapes, perfect for sliding down the mountain on. Sturdy, slick on one side, slightly sticky on the other. Perfect rideymathings (she'd named them herself.) Shouts and cries of glee as she sat at the front of it, pushing her body this way and that, steering it left and right (though far from any trees and the path was always clear) they zoomed down the hill. All too quickly the ride was over though, as the hill flattened out, and the rideymathing slowed. There was a pause for a few moments before squeals of laughter and they started back up the mountain again, much faster this time though, as they now knew the wonderful way that awaited them coming down.<br/><br/>
