Last weekend we had the fun of going to some friends' cabin. It was an absolutely gorgeous weekend - nice sunny weather and tons of snow already on the ground. We had fun snowshoeing and snowmobiling (snow machining) and hanging out. The internet is terribly slow tonight so I'm not posting any more pictures here. But if you want to see more there are some already up on Facebook.

Also, after the fun of spending Friday and Saturday up there, we went to Montrose (Cora and I) and the cabin (Brad) on Monday and Tuesday. Brad and his dad snowshoed into the cabin hauling 3 sleds of supplies for the High School Winter Retreat that will be up there next weekend. Cora and I stayed with Mom in Montrose. Brad and Dad worked REALLY hard to get in to the cabin - there is a TON of snow I guess. I'm excited to see it next weekend. Cora will be staying with Grandma and Grandpa in Montrose while we are at the retreat. I'm excited to go, but this will be the first time I will be away from Cora overnight! I know she'll have a good time with mom and dad, but I will miss her! And I will have a good time, too. The bummer for the weekend is that the water system at the cabin broke so we won't have running water and will have to melt snow! Sounds easy but it's actually a bit of work. You have to hand it to these high schoolers that they are going to hike uphill, hauling their gear and food in 3 feet or more of snow, to a rustic cabin where they don't have running water, electricity, cell reception (at least, rarely) or an indoor toilet! It will be a stetch for some of these kids but some others are totally geared for this kind of adventure! Should be fun, but that's a week away yet.
For now, I think Cora is doing some serious teething! She has a runny nose, so it may be a cold, but she is more irritable than normal and is not sleeping well. Can't figure out what else it could be...
Wow, how awesome to have the cabin available to take your high schoolers to! They are so blessed to have that opportunity...
ReplyDeleteWell, I wouldn't be so thrilled about the snow and water situation, but the rest should be a blast!
Have fun! And relax, enjoy your break, and be grateful that we have such a great Mother-in-law who will lovingly watch your daughter while you take some time away!
All I can say is soak up the night not having to be in Mama Mode! That's so awesome you have family close by to be able to do that!!!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your time with the church kids, wish we had a cabin we could take ours too!
We're going skiing again tomorrow, wish you could join us:).
