ooooo..sledding at the cabin

My friend Nora invited me and the kids to go sledding up at her cabin last week. Reece has been off track for 3 weeks (a perk of year round school), I knew it would be a great way to end the break. Some of my friends questioned why I needed to drive an hour to go sledding when I could take the kids .2 miles away to go sledding. There is just something about going up to the cabin in Kamas that sooths me.
My theory is that if I'm far enough away from my house I don't hear it calling me back, reminding me of how messy it is, begging me to finish painting the kitchen that I started spackling, or nagging me to caulk and paint the new baseboards we put up. I can't hear the call of my house if I'm far enough away from it, I can relax, no emails to check, no pictures to edit, no floors to vacuum, etc.

Another perk of sledding up at the cabin is that they have a great sun room that faces the sledding hill. So, I can be in the sun room sipping hot cocoa while Reece is sledding the afternoon away.

Here are a few more shots from the afternoon.

This little runt decided the 6 feet of powder was a little too intimidating and decided to stay inside.

Maya would sit on a sled as long as it wasn't on a hill.

Jada was in dog heaven, there were acres of land to run around and explore. She is checking the run to make sure the path is clear, what a great dog.


It can get pretty tiring.


Now she is playing watch dog. Good girl.


Here comes Reece.


Agh, who needs to see? Seeing is over rated.


And here is Addie Joe, when is she not cute?


And then came Nora


But wait, she has a little runt tucked in front.


Sometimes I wonder who likes sledding more, Nora or her kids? I think the answer is in her expression.


Ahhhh, the cabin.
