We drove up Weber Canyon like it was any other winter day (at least in the last few years) not expecting a hard time getting to the cabin. Were we WRONG! There hasn't been a winter like this for a long, long time. Usually, we hop in the ranger, throw our bags and coolers in the back, and take a nice toasty one mile ride into the cabin. Not this year. After THREE hours, the boys finally packed down the road enough for us ladies to snowmobile in with our babies, in zero degree temperatures at ten o'clock at night! An adventure to say the least, but we all agreed that adventures are memorable and we wouldn't have it any other way! I wanted to get some pictures of all the snow, but I don't feel like any of these do it justice....
Notice the snow is just about a foot below the basketball hoop net!
Even Tuscan was FREEZING! He kept picking up his paws and hopping around because his little feet were freezing. That didn't stop him from rolling around in the snow though!
Here are all the ladies crammed in the Ranger. (Jamie and Aspen, Kimi and Easton, Lindsay and Finn) This is before we knew we wouldn't be able to just drive in....wishful thinking I guess!
The boys with the kiddos!
Finn and Aspen had a great time cruisin' around the cabin with each other. Aspen is a little more "advanced" than Finn, but she tried to keep up!
We played with Finnley in the snow for a little while, and she went on her first Snowmobile ride with Mitch. She looks a little cold in the picture below, don't you think?!?
JUMPIN' OFF THE DECK!
Mitch got the idea that we should jump off the deck into the fresh snow below. Not wanting to disapoint, I agreed! It was really fun.
Mitch went first....after he assured me that the landing was indeed soft, I took the plunge as well.
Checking it out...
...and going for it! We did it twice because it was so much fun. I have to admit, it kind of gave me a little thrill and made me feel daring - which doesn't happen too often now that I'm a mom.
