Cabin Fever (Feb. '11)

We got to head up to the cabin one more time during Winter season! It was so fun to have Adam, Chante and kids join us! Merrick, Eden and Kavella loved playing in the snow.


When they weren't sledding or hiking, the girls spent their time eating the snow. They ate a ridiculous amount of snow.....hopefully, none of it was yellow!



At first, there was just a light dusting of snow.

But, soon it started really coming down! The snow was HUGE! It was more like mini-snow balls instead of snowflakes. I love staying cozy next to the fire while Mother Nature delivers her fury outside.



Dustin made himself a Pepsi icee. Look at how big the "snowflakes" were!

One night, we decided to head to a nearby town for some banana splits. We were the only people in the cafe and they were playing music, so naturally, the girls started dancing! We ended up getting brownie pies, which were ridiculously tasty! On the way home, a guy who had slid off the road asked for our help to pull him out. It had really started snowing by then, but Dust can never say "no," so without gloves, he headed outside to assist this guy. After about 45 minutes of nail-biting effort, we realized we just couldn't do it--he needed a tow truck. I thought we were stuck ourselves at one point. It was scary.


We had so much snow on/in our truck that our entire bed was still full of it by the time we made it back to Orange County. Then, we spent the evening having snow ball fights in 70 degree weather. It was fun.

Dan and LesLey's new cabin--isn't it so pretty with snow on it?


Merrick, Kavella and Eden--best friends forever!

Ohhhhh my goodness, let's talk about how cute this snowsuit is!! This is the EXACT snowsuit Dustin wore as a kid! I wish I had a picture of Dust in it. I'm pretty sure I overdressed Kavella--she was sweating within five minutes of being outside.

Oh, and she had no chance of recovering if she fell over. It reminded me of 'Christmas Story!'

Choco would sink almost completely into the snow!

No, those gloves actually fit her--you're welcome, Kavella, for inheriting my "man-hands."




Eden and Chante

"Weeeeeeeeeeeee!"



Nom, nom, nom..snow is tasty!

i love cabin trips. They are a blast. I am jealous that it snowed on you! Very jealous. We had to deal with old hard snow when we went. :)
