Snow Cabin

Check my blog to see more pics and details from our winter cabin trip.

The highlights were:

Blowing a tire on the snowmobile trailer on the freeway.
The futon bed snapping back into a couch on mom and dad.
Dad sledding face first into the snow.

The Cabin!

We FINALLY made it to the cabin! Here is the evidence:

"Wow!" He loved just walking around in the snow.

Yes, he fell down a lot.

Sledding. He loved it. Can you tell? Yeah, we couldn't either.

Beautiful clean, crisp cabin air. Lovely.

Helping with pancakes.

We had tons of fun and can't wait to get back up there. We were glad Todd and Ashely were able to make it up to visit too!

Snowed In!

Nate and Dad went to the cabin this week to do a little work. Thursday night they went to bed and woke up to the wrath of Gandalf! Here is the picture proof.
