...or NOT!!!
This past weekend we had planned to go to a friends cabin and stay the weekend and play in the snow. Well, plans changed last minute and they couldn't go. Cody had already taken Thursday off work so we decided to go anyway. The kids have been begging to go play in the snow all winter and it just hasn't happened. So, Cody jumped on Craigs List and found a cabin for rent. On the website they made it look like private cabins out in the forest covered in beautiful snow. We thought we could just send the kids out and let them play. Well, when we arrived it was totally in a track home neighborhood that looked like cabins and this is how much snow we had!!! We were a little dissapointed, but we made the best of it.
Back porch...covered in snow right?
Liam threw a tantrum when we first started unloading the car and taking stuff inside. He isn't a fan of change and he thought we were moving or something. He just wanted to go back to our old house!! It took some convincing but then he was ok with our "pretend house"
My fabulous snowman
That was actually this tall.
There was a park in the neighborhood with enough crusty snow to make these little guys.
All Avery wanted to do was make a snowcone and eat it and make snowmen, we did both...sort of.
Emrie getting in on the snowman action.
Avery was proud of her creation
Our little snow family
We did drive almost to Sunrise ski resort to find a good sledding hill, but we found one and the kids had a blast sledding. They were actually braver than I thought!!
My cute little eskimo baby. She didn't like it after awhile. I turned her around in the Bjorn and she went to sleep. It was pretty cute.
Although we were dissapointed at first. We actually had a fabulous time. No work, no phone calls, no swat callouts for three whole days. We watched movies together, ate popcorn, had hot chocolate, went to the movies, played at the park and slept in. Things we could do at home, but somehow don't always find the time to. It was great memory making fun!!

All your snowmen are so cute! Looks like a good break. I love it when you can get away to do nothing, that's the best. Emrie looks so cute all bundled up in her mittens and beenie. love it.
That snowman was hilarious. I really thought it was a big one. Great pics. Always fun to get away. Take care, Tammi
