Spring Break

Spring break could not get here fast enough for me this year. With all the reports and projects due this last quarter I thought time was litterally standing still. But as you can see we made it and we are all well rested due to a well deserved escape to our cabin for the break. I grabbed my sister and we were off on a road trip to Cedar Mountain. Myself, my sister and 10 kids.


The kids were so excited to be in the mountains. The first thing they did was put on their snow clothes. They pretty much played in the snow the whole time we were up there, it was wonderful.


Jake even pulled out the snow mobile and rode the kids around on it.

Here is Amberlie and Olivia getting ready to sled down a hill, a couple of times they would be going a little too fast and catch a little air. It freaked us moms out a little but these girls just laughed and laughed.


Jake made a huge snow cave that the kids thought was the coolest, even our dog would go inside.


On day 3 we woke up to a nice surprise, It snowed! This picture was taken from our portch. Isn't it just beautiful? All the new fallen snow everywhere. AHH, it's just so peaceful and quiet and relaxing. I just love how the snow sticks to the trees.


Zoe loved to play in the snow but, I think she loved staying bundeled up by the fire a little bit more.



After a fresh new snow fall you have to make snow angels!



And have snowball fights.



All the kids had so much fun this week, they would play in the snow until their poor little hands and feet were all wet and freezing. As for my sister and I, we stayed in our P.J.'s for 2 days strait! We had time to catch up on things, made easy "kid" food while the dads we back in Vegas working and were able to watch chick flicks until the wee hours in the morning. It was a nice get away!

Looks like you guys had a great week up there! I'm sure it was a huge change from the fast paced life of schoolwork, sports, music, and everything else.

What a great way to spend spring break! I love how happy the kids look in the snow. I'm glad to see you and your sister do what me and my sisters do... talk and not letting showers get in the way of chick flicks and talking! That is my kind of trip.
