Martin Luther King Weekend

We decided to head up to the cabin for the weekend. It was the first time we've been up there since Josh's grandfather passed away. It was really hard for him to keep his emotions under control as he had a lot of memories with his grandpa up there. We headed up Friday early afternoon. Josh's dad went up there with us to help get all our stuff and the kids up to the cabin. It was the first time we've ever gone up there by ourselves...kinda weird but still fun. As soon as we got there we put the girls down for their naps and relaxed for a bit. That evening we played games with the kids, watched movies, and ate dinner. Josh and I stayed up watching Prison Break then headed to bed.

Saturday morning we enjoyed the time we didn't have to be doing anything. The kids enjoyed more shows, games, and coloring:

 Michael came up in the early afternoon so we headed outside for some snow fun! We've never been up to the cabin with such little snow. The kids LOVED going down the hills on the sleds:

 Brynlee absolutely LOVED being outside, eventhough she couldn't move around much.

 We hooked the sled up to the 4 wheeler and took the kids for a ride.

 Michael and Brayden going down on a sled. We were surprised how much more daring Brayden was this year. That kid had NO fear and went down the hill by himself, usually crashing at the end.

 Marcello, Rueben, and Josh's siblings Andrew and Rachael joined us in the evening. It was fun to teach our amigos some fun games and hang out with them. We stayed up playing games and watching movies. Sunday we took it pretty easy. We enjoyed the morning and played more games with the amigos. We all went out for a little bit to do more sledding and Andrew took the amigos on the snowmobiles. Here's our little marshmallow:

 Josh, Brynlee, and Rueben climbing back up the hill.

 Again, Brynlee LOVED being outside. She would just sit and watch everyone, then point to the sled when she wanted to go down. I love my little girls!

Steve came up Sunday evening after the amigos left. We played more games, then Michael, Andrew, and Rachael headed home. Steve, Josh, and I stayed up playing Ticket to Ride a few more times then headed to bed. Monday morning we took our time cleaning and packing up. We headed home @ 2. It was a fantastic trip!
