We spent an afternoon on a 4-mile or so hike in the Snowies to Glacier Lake and Lost Lake (we did not get lost). We did find snow, and a lot of it. Hazel made snowballs, and packed snow around. She got tired after a bit, and did eventually fall asleep in the backpack. The rocky trail made us a little nervous to have Hazel walking, but she loved climbing over all the rocks and would pop right back up again if she fell down.
The less fun part of the story is that in spite of liberal amounts of bug spray, Hazel was a mosquito magnet. She got several mosquito bites, but the worst one was on her eyelid. We didn't actually notice it until the next morning, when she woke up with her eyelid swollen shut! We took her in to see her pediatrician, and were reassured that everything would be fine, and to give her children's Zyrtec. It was a few days before it looked any better at all, but it did get better and she's back to normal now. She looked a little rough for those few days, though!
