The Cabin in February

Wow! What a weekend. A long, 4 day weekend. My Aunt and Uncle were so amazing and let Chris and I take some family up to their cabin. They will seriously never know how much it meant to me :) We had so much fun! I just loved it. I love love love playing in the snow. And we got to take our little snowmobiles up and ride them. Just the get-a-way I needed. It put a smile on my face, and a spring in my step.

Chris and I have such similar pasts. He grew up camping, fishing, snowmobiling, and his dad even had a Honda 90! Seriously? My dad has a couple of Honda 90's :) We did the exact same things when I was young. So this weekend was sort of like re-living my child hood. And Chris and Mark got to pretend, they still have killer snowmobiles, and can ride like the good old days, before Chris got married :)

I took SO many pictures. I tried to put just a few dozen (ha..ha..) in my blog. But all of them are on Facebook, incase you want to check them out.

We'd been talking about this for weeks. So when we finally packed to go, the girls got really excited and didn't sleep much. Here they are, in the parking lot waiting to go up to the cabin. You have to ride the snowmobiles, and tow all of your food, and clothes up in a sled. No cars....

We went a day before everyone else got there. So we went on a few family rides :) It was a lot of fun!
I just LOVE this picture! The sun is going down, and it's so peaceful. And I love Elle's little hat.
Going down the sled hill we made :) I could have stayed outside all day. I loved the rides, the snow sparkling in the sun, the blue skies, the pine trees, the sled hill, the snowmobile tracks, etc.. etc... The cabin was great, but lets face it, spending my days outdoors, is number one in my book :) It was a little piece of heaven....
We had a lot of fun playing ping pong! Everyone played at some point. The cabin is so nice! Not your little cabin in the woods. More like a 2nd residence. Probably more square footage than my home. Lots of fun :)

Loading in some beverages :)
The cabin :) And a very happy Bree!

Riding....

Out on the trail :)
Chris and Mark, taking the sleds in through the trees in some deeper snow. In Heaven!!
Look at this face!!! Seriously one of my favorite pics :)
Riding in the field. Seeing what these little old sleds can do!

Practicing Side Hilling... who knew?


We made the most awesome sled hill. From the road out front, all the way to the backyard of the cabin. It was super long, and super fun!!!


The boys, minus Roy.

Ryan, Chris, Mark, and McKay.
The girls with Grandma J. Or grandma Bump Bump!
No one wanted to go. They were already talking about next year! So, I guess we'll have to see what my aunt and uncle think about that idea? I can't believe it went by so fast. I guess that's how you know you're having a really good time :)
