Cabin Snow Trip

In January we took a trip to the cabin hoping for snow. We had what I thought was the perfect amount of snow, with sunshine. It was a lot of fun for all of us. Warm enough to take walks on the street if you didn't want to walk through snow, and there was enough snow to make the kids happy. All of the Edmunds family was able to come too. We have taken trips to the Crandell cabin together before, but never in the winter. I love being at the cabin in the winter. Its so nice to be able to have a fire and to cuddle up with a blanket. The cousins have so much fun up there together. They tear the place apart and it can sometimes be quite the chore to put it all back together before we leave.








The pond near the cabin was frozen. Steve was the one who tested it out for safety. He had a great time imagining his friends coming up next winter to have a hockey game on that pond.



The kids thought it was pretty cool to be standing on ice. And that's fair, it was pretty cool.

We did a lot of lounging around. And shooting dart guns. And playing stupid games on cell phones. It was pretty relaxing.


Brad was hands down the favorite uncle this trip. He got quite a workout playing with those kids. They were on his case constantly asking him to wrestle.


More lounging.


No trip to the cabin would be complete without some type of organized performance by Sarah. The kids found outfits in the dress up room and Sarah taught them some songs. It is always an entertaining show.


We always have a great time at the cabin and are so grateful that we have a place so close that we can escape to.

Ooh, I'm not that brave. Every time I've been talked into walking onto frozen water, I can't stop picturing that scene from It's A Wonderful Life where George Bailey's little brother falls through the ice. I'm getting cold just thinking about it!

the cabin looks like it is a blast!! it is probably so fun for your kids to be able to go to the snow and it is probably so fun for you to be able to leave it there!!
