Another fun stay at the cabin!

We just got back from another fun stay at the cabin. We originally planned on going for 5 days but because of basketball games, we were only able to go for 3. Paul's family and Lisa's family came up on Sunday night and stayed over and spent most of the day on Monday there. The kids had a great time playing with their cousins. We watched movies, played games and had a blast playing in the snow. We made Dale sit at the table with ALL the kids while we watched from the kitchen.

This is my favorite picture from this trip! Jaxon and Katie were just sitting in the snow so I took their picture. What cute faces!


The kids had a great time sledding down the road to the power plant. We got going very fast! We liked to have races and see how many people we could fit on the sled. The heavier the sled, the faster we went. It was awesome! I liked how it looked when everyone was walking back up to the top for another run!
It was fun to have Jenny out sledding with us. She loved running and playing in the snow. We found out how amazingly fast she can run. We would send someone down on their sled, wait about 5 seconds, then send Jenny after them. She beat them to the bottom every time!
Kierra, Katie and Kamry sitting in the cave that someone built. Katie thought it was so cool!


Kyson, Jadon, Kamry and Kierra getting ready to race down the hill. So much fun!

Our poor little Jake had a pretty bad sledding accident. He was riding his sled by himself to the bottom of the road. He got going really fast and didn't realize that he needed to either put his feet down to stop or jump off his sled before he reached the bottom. He crashed, really hard, right into the fence pole! He got a huge goose egg on his forehead, had a bloody nose and got pretty scraped up. This picture was taken the day after it happened and it doesn't really show how bruised up his face is getting. It breaks our hearts to look at his bruised little face. I was so proud of him because the next day he got back on his sled and had fun again!

It's always sad when we have to clean up and go home. Clean up was a breeze this time because everyone was so willing to work together and get everything done. I love seeing my boys doing the dishes and cleaning up the kitchen! We had such a great time together. I am so thankful for the chances we have to go to the cabin. We always make such wondeful memories there!
