A Snow Day at the Cabin

New Years Eve Day we headed to the cabin in Pine. We could not believe how much snow there was and that Robs car made it as far as it did. Luckily we brought a shovel and Rob made a path through the meadow,to the stairs, and leading up to the cabin. First, we got the cabin warm and got on the snow clothes that were left in the closet and waited for my dad and sisters to join us. On the way up, I ran into Walmart and bought Clark some snow boots on sale and a snow jacket, so the kid was set. Iv'e learned from my past experience as a child, that once your toes get wet and cold, or any part of your clothing for that matter, the day becomes miserably cold and unbearable. I thought I had everything covered for Clark and that we were in for a real treat with the absence of complaints and whining. Unfortunately, I did not plan on snow being kicked up in his face on his first run down the hill. Crying and complaints ensued. Luckily, he joined back in on the fun and went down on the sled with Rob and I a few more times, before we all hurried back in by the fire and warmed our hands with hot cocoa thanks to Grandpa. Kurt, in his 7 layers of clothing, was a little bundle of warmth and happy to watch all the action.
The area around the cabin looked beautiful with all of the snow. We had so much fun, but were happy to get the heaters going on the drive home.
