This was Sunday morning. The day we were supposed to leave for a fun filled week at the cabin.
So, around 10am or so we decided...come hell or high water...or 13 inches of snow...we were going to the cabin.
In about 30 minutes flat we packed up the car and went for it.
We saw A LOT of this on the way.
Things were great until we turned onto the 7 mile dirt road to the cabin. We would have been fine if the frame on the car wasn't so close to the ground. Basically we turned into a Saturn snow plow. When we hit the first big hill...it was just more than the car could take. After an hour of being stuck we got back on the highway and headed to Jeanne's house. We couldn't get up the drive, but we were determined...so we walked up.
If I had ever wondered what Bran would do to for a chance to soak in the hot tub...now I know.
The next morning we decided to try it again....SUCCESS! The first thing the boys did was do a little 50/50 sledding (you know... 50% snow/50% grass) I know it's hard to believe, but the snow you see here was over a foot deep less than 24 hours before this pic was taken.
Boston got a fire started.
The river was super high.
Since so many of you are always asking about the cabin, I've made you a little virtual tour.

This is the downstairs room with 6 "bunks" for the boys.
This is the basement/laundry room.
This is one of the bedrooms.
a bathroom
Living room (I meant to take a pic of all the deer heads and antlers mounted around the ceiling.)
Grandpa's fish.
The kitchen
So that about does it...not the best tour since I forgot the deer, the fire pit, the barn, the dock the bluffs... but at least you get the idea.
Ri's the one in the red and white when the video starts. He's doing a great job learning to stay in his "zone" instead of just chasing the ball.

A few days ago I noticed some Obama bags at Wal-Mart. I remember thinking "who in the world would actually buy an Obama bag?" Now I know....
