One of the best parts of being in Utah in the winter is giving the kids the chance to play in the snow, and there is PLENTY of it at the cabin. The first full day we were there, Uncle Tyler was kind enough to suit up and go outside with mom and the kids and help start a snow fort. We shoveled off the trampoline and let the kids jump on it, which was a strange experience. Then out came the sleds. The kids all had fun, but I think Allison enjoyed it the most. She was just the right size to lay down in the sled and go all the way down the driveway. And when she got the the bottom, she jump up, grab the sled, walk up the driveway and go down again! She did that for hours, all by herself, even when Nate and Sarah got tired and went inside for multiple hot chocolate breaks.
A day or so later, Brent arrived. Heidi,Jayson & Mae, Drew, Kirk, Tricia & kids came up, too. It was so fun to have so many of us there! We loaded up the snowmobiles and went to great sledding spot. It took a few trips to get everyone (dogs included) up there and we managed to break a snowmobile in the process. Damn! But it was a ton of fun and the kids again had a great time sledding.
After New Years, Pine Mountain was EMPTY! We practically had the place to ourselves, so we took the opportunity to race the remaining snowmobiles around the meadow. We also tied a sled the the back of the ATV and dragged the kids around. I'm not sure I would like it, but they had a blast. (My stupid camera wasn't working that day, so no pictures. Drat!)
I LOVE the cabin! It is such a great place to relax and have fun with the kids. Thank you, mom & dad for allowing us to use it. And sorry to Kirk, who has to fix all the stuff that breaks. I promise we try to be careful!
