Splendid Saturday

Last weekend we were invited to join our friends for a day at their cabin located about 45 minutes away.

The beautiful blue skies and bright sunshine followed us up there, and we gained enough elevation to find a few feet of snow waiting at the cabin.

After some lunch and a little time warming up around the wood stove, we geared up and trekked out into the snow.

Emphasis on the the 'trekked' because that stuff was deep!

The guys were spoiled - or smart, depending on how you look at it; they were wearing snowshoes.

We were all pretty taken with how beautiful the snow was in the bright sun.

It was perfect for sledding.

Silly me, I did a Jillian workout early Saturday morning in anticipation of sitting lazily around the wood stove at the cabin.

A few trips up this short hill in my snow gear, in the deep snow, and pulling 40 pounds behind me was a tougher workout than Jillian. But obviously the kiddo loved every minute.

He was also pretty pleased when I showed him he could eat an icicle.

After wearing ourselves out a bit we headed back inside for cocoa, more time around the fire and a few rounds of ping pong.



Sometimes its just nice to get outta' dodge.

Thank you to Michelle, Forrest and Hope!

We had a wonderful time!
