Fun at the Cabin!

A couple of weekends ago we took advantage of our family's amazing Stratford Cabin!
It is truly the perfect getaway.
We had a few friends come up with us. Ok actually there were...
8 adults and 16 kids.
A bit on the CRAZY side, but so incredibly FUN!
We ordered pizza Friday night and "thought" we'd get the kiddos to bed early so the adults could play some games. We started at 8:30p and the kids finally crashed around 12 midnight. I guess that is what happens when that many kids all get to sleep together in bunk beds.
We still got in a few games and we finally crashed around 1:30am.
Saturday morning we discovered...
...this beautiful scene.
Notice how much snow is on our vehicles?
(can you even see them?)

So... we took advantage of the gift and...

...threw a few snowballs.

But WHY do these "gentlemen" look so pleased?
Because they built an incredibly FANTASTIC sledding hill for the kiddos.

It started at the top of the stairs to the deck...
and curved all the way around so you could then slide down the driveway until you crashed into something.
They kids LOVED it.


But wait... just the kids? I don't think so...

Yup thats gotta be around 500 pounds of
MANLY LOVE...


Only to end in...
...wait... wasn't there THREE?
Oh yes... here he is.
Need a closer look?

Then it was on to warmer things.
Mmmmm.... HOT CHOCOLATE!

Doesn't get much cuter than this.

The rest of Saturday was full of games, movies, a good walk and talk with the ladies, and lots more yummy yummy food!
Sunday we cleaned up and went to the local ward Sacrament Meeting which ended a good 25 minutes early even after 3 speakers. I'm thinking Dan and I will move into that ward.
Thanks to wonderful friends and a great family cabin we made a few more good memories.
