Wes has been itching to go to the cabin for two reasons: 1). to finally go snowmobiling. 2). to take his truck on an adventure.
He’s not usually the impulsive trip planner in our family but he said it was time to go and away we went! My parents & Sam were able to join us which always makes it fun.
We picked up Sam Friday morning and since my head was pounding with a sinus infection/migraine she was so nice to sit in between my boys in the back and entertain them for our 4 hour journey. They love Aunt Sam and she was the perfect person to help them with the electronics. We did manage to stop for a delicious lunch at Pizza Factory.
The weekend at the cabin was perfect. The weather was wonderful – low 40’s but the sun was shining so we never got cold. In fact, I was often outside in a short sleeve shirt and snow pants! There was plenty of snow to snowmobile and sled but not so much that it was a pain to navigate. The best part was the amount of snow right outside the cabin. The driveway made for the perfect hill for the boys to go up and down with their sleds. When that wasn’t daring enough, they started going off a steeper hill with a large drop at the end. Or Ryan would take a running start and dive on to the sled and go down the hill. They loved it.
Nate has turned in to quite a brave kid & Ryan has always been that way. I have to say that I love that they aren’t super reserved & are up for trying a lot of new things without much hesitation. It makes life fun!
On Saturday we rented snowmobiles. It was a first for me, Sam, Nate & Ryan. I think it will take Sam and I a few times to feel super comfortable on those things but the boys LOVED it. Of course Wes just took off on them – the faster the better for Wes, Nate & Ryan. After riding around in the meadow for a while my dad, Wes & Nate took off on a snowmobile trail adventure that turned out to be super fun. Ryan came back for a little sledding and much needed nap.
And as always, the 4 wheelers got a ride or two.
Another great weekend at the cabin. One moment that was pretty funny was when we were sitting around the dinner table and Nate is talking about a Franklin Pierce. Somehow the rest of us didn’t know who in the world he was talking about. Oh, just the 14th President of the United States. Nate was the only person who knew that. And later that night Sam proclaimed that she is rather disappointed that she never had a career on Broadway. That was equally as funny at the time.
