We have heard about "the cabin" for so long and finally got it worked out for everyone to get together and go! Marissa's family owns the cabin up in park city so we took off and met the Gwilliams and the Days up there this past Friday.
Right when we got there the kids were already settled in with the toys and Maia and Mac went to town digging everything out of the toy closet
Nothing like a Toy Story couch! Just the perfect size for these two cuties
After settling in we put the kids to bed and stayed up talking and playing cards. It was a lot of fun getting to goof around and actually have a conversation without the kids needing something. We stayed up until 1AM (we never do that anymore!) and finally called it quits knowing the kids would be up early.
It was a beautiful sunny day and hardly cold at all. There was a TON of snow out there and we couldn't wait to get sledding and snowmobiling!
Lyla saw Cade and Connor with their goggles on and quickly requested her own also. They took over her face and looked so cute. Surprisingly she kept them on for a really long time.
Getting ready to sled together behind the snomobile
After sledding for an hour or so the kids went in for awhile to rest up for more fun later. Josh and I went out with Aaron on the snowmobiles and went up a really fun trail to the top of one part of the mountain. It was so beautiful and peaceful up there. Since it was Josh's first time driving a snowmobile we may have got stuck and/or tipped it over several times which called for Aaron to have to come dig us out, ha. I forgot my camera on our little trip but we sure had fun just riding around together.
When we got back we told the boys to get all the kids suited up to come back outside and while they got ready Marissa, Jen and I snuck out to go sledding together. Cade and Conner joined us at first but then the girls just went by ourselves after and got to fast and tried to push each other off our sleds. Jen fell a million times and we laughed and laughed. It was awesome
When we got back the kids were ready and got in the gear toboggan so we could ride over to the sledding hill.
Sledding with dad
The sledding hill was perfect. It was about a half mile away from the cabin. Wasn't too steep, not to short. It was great for both the kids and adults. The BEST part of all though: no climbing the hill. You just jumped in the toboggan and Aaron pulled us back up the hill with the snowmobile. IT.WAS.AWESOME. The best way to sled for sure. We were definitely spoiled.
Here's Cade and Jen. Cade and Connor went snowboarding and showed off their skills.
Brookie and Lyla went down by themselves together a few times. It was so cute to see their little bodies just racing down the hill together.
After sledding we went back and had a delicious dinner together and then packed up to go. All of the kids were pooped and ready for naps by the time we got out of there! Lyla fell asleep in the car in about .2 seconds after having no nap and playing hard all day.
We had a blast last weekend and hope we get to go back again soon!
