Cabin Fever.... Spring Break

We had a great spring break!!! We stayed home the first part of the week and relaxed and tried to sleep in. Then on Wed. we went to IF for a day and then up to our grandparents cabin. I grew up going to this cabin a lot and it brought back so many great memories for me to be there. A few times my sister and I asked ourselves how in the world our family's did it back in the day..... because we would go up and stay with my moms whole family..... loads of kids and adults.... I think we are a little spoiled because with just her family and mine we felt a little claustrophobic.. but we still had so much fun and the kids especially had so much fun and made some great memories.

there was no snow the whole way to the cabin.... but then when we went up the mountain there was about two feet left of really wet melting snow. We had wet clothes and snow clothes up all over the place and had to change our kids frequently
we had a lot of great movies for the kids to watch while they got warmed up
the baby's were so good. Adison can not wait for her little buddy Joslynn to start playing with her
the weather was great and really warm the whole time we were there, and the girls were outside as much as they could
I remember trying to climb this and slide down when I was little.... never worked for me either.
the kids made a sweet fort thing.... but they only made it half way through it and it started to melt pretty fast.

we went on a drive on Saturday and found a great park in Afton for the kids to run around and play. The weather was so warm
Rob showed us his skills and helped get the swing down. We were all very impressed
Adison loves to be outside and really loves to swing. I think she could do this all day long




Mike has grown up a ton. He is so great with baby's and Adison really likes him. This picture looks funny, but she really was having fun with him
Tessa came up for two hours to play with Brytlee and that was really fun for her.
we played conference bingo this year and the kids all loved it. I will for sure be doing this again. we had a basket they could pick a treat from when they got a bingo and then after two bingo's they had to get a blackout before they could get another treat.

my mom and dad going down the slick hill..... I thought they were all going to fall at one point....
Adison loved this little swing and would get so mad when we got her out. Her little hands would get so cold but she didn't care.
I love this taboggin. I don't know if you can buy them anymore but they are the best sled ever


we went for a little walk at the dam and it was so beautiful

the boys and Alexis all went fishing



I thought this picture of Rob was so cool. I love how you can see him and the reflection in the water.
I love Palisades. It is so beautiful!
silly girls




Summer is so grown up and is a couple inches taller than me now. I swear she should still be a baby..... time goes so fast
Annette's cute family

you can't really tell because they have such little bums but they are sticking their bums out because it says bump



Happy little girl
I remember doing so many fun tricks on these stairs..... my girls didn't even try any
By the end of our trip the kids were so wet and the snow boots would not dry we had to put plastic bags under their snow clothes to help them stay dry.....

we had a great time with my sisters family, and the kids really loved it and can't wait to go back. Annette and I had our moments of feeling crazy, and it was so much work but the more you think about it the funner it really was. we had a few times we had to go and hid and just laugh about everything and get some time to ourselves. I love having a sister that no mater how crazy things get you can just still laugh about it. I had times that I really could have cried or yelled but if I just look at her I can't help have a laughing attack.
After we came home and walking into my house if felt SOOOOO good. I just have to say how much I LOVE my house. MY husband really is amazing and I am so grateful to have a beautiful home. I love everything about it, but I love being with him and our girls in this home the most.
