SNOWMOBILE TRIP
We went on a small trip this weekend. We went to our friends cabin for two nights and it was so much fun!! The snow was unbelievable!! It was so, so deep and so, so fluffy! We left Bradley home with my sister Mandi which was so hard for me. We have never left one of our kids home so it was hard; but he would have been miserable because it was freezing!! I missed him greatly!!Braxton thinks he is old enough to drive a snowmobile, but we're not quite there yet.

Ellie was the only girl up at the cabin. I had to get a picture of her in her pink helmet and goggles! She loves to play hard and can so hang with all the boys!

Burke is a snow lover!! I found him in this pit o' snow. He was just hanging out. The snow was feet deep!

When we were not out in the snow, we played lots of games. We sat in front of the fire and got warm before another round of snowmobile rides.

I had to document this treat. Ellie and Ashton are eating snow ice cream. They love it!! It is simple yummy goodness that they can't get enough of!

Just a shot of the loveliness. It snowed a foot the first night we were there, and then it snowed another foot the second night. The powder was unbelievable! I don't think I have ever played in such deep snow. The snowmobile's got stuck multiple times because it was so deep. It was awesome!!

This is the kids on the front porch of the cabin. Notice the depth of the snow.

Ashton being cute. This is one of the few times he took his helmet off.

Ellie and Ash climbing the snow on the side of the cabin.

Ellie and Burke on the back of the sled getting ready to "mush." These sleds are to haul gear to and from the cabin and to pull kids around on. It is super fun to hold on and mush like a dog sled.

One of the funnest things for the kids is jumping off the balcony into the snow. They would go up and jump over and over again. I tried it myself and it was quite fun.! This is Burke..

This is Braxton..

And this is Ellie. It took her a little longer to work up the nerve to jump but once she did she was hooked!

Ricky spent much time giving rides and having fun. Let's be honest, what is funner than snowmobiling in 3 feet of fresh powder?

Me and Ellie. One of the few pics of me.

Me and Pres. Bratt with all the kids getting ready to head down the mountain.
