Snowmobiling at the Cabin

 Sunday after church we headed up to the cabin.  We meet my parents and a couple siblings at the bottom of the mountain and then we drove up together to where we park our cars.  We can drive about half way before we have to park the cars and then we go the rest of the way by snowmobile. 
It was a pretty nice day, a little rainy, but not too bad.  The weather was a little warmer then normal, so that was nice.  My parents just got a newer machine that fit my little family perfectly.  It was nice being able to all go in on one machine.  The rest of my family spread out between two other machines and a sled that carried in all our stuff.
The cabin was very cold in side.  It took about 6 hours for the furnace to warm the whole place up.  Once it was all warm it was very nice and cozy.  We started a fire and had space heaters going to keep us warm at the beginning.  We made some dinner and then enjoyed the evening just hanging out chatting.
The next day we went on a nice snowmobile ride.  Both boys loved riding and had a wonderful time.  I tried to go out again later that morning and ended up falling off and crashing the machine.  Luckily we were right by the cabin so my dad was able to come and help dig me out.  Nothing like falling completely into a big pile of snow.  Tyler liked to play in all the snow and play like he was the "King of the Mountain."  Then we cleaned up and headed back home.  It was a short but sweet trip.  I really enjoy snowmobiling and I was glad to see my kids and Tony have a good time too.
