Staying in a cabin...

My sister and her husband invited us to stay in a cabin with them over the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday. It was on the other side of Zion national park. We left on Saturday and stayed until Monday. Mel couldn't come with us because he had night skiing with the YM on Saturday night. He tried to come up on Sunday, but the people in the booths at Zion wouldn't let him through. They gave us a hard time, but eventually let us through.

When we got there, we unloaded our stuff and played in the snow. It was nice and not really cold at all. I made a snowman, but the snow didn't pack very well, so it's a little snowman. It turned out really cute. Alee wanted to play in the snow with us. There was a frozen pond nearby. The boys pushed canoes up the hill and sled down in the canoes. They had fun doing that. I didn't get a picture of that though.

There was an old wagon. It has obviously seen better days.

Me and my sister.

My sister surprised my kids by bringing two of their cousins with them. That helped my kids a lot . They were entertained the whole time.

The cabin had 5 bedrooms with tons of beds in each one. It could sleep about 20 people. The kids stayed in one room all together. The first night Alee and Preston were scared, so they slept in the room with me. The next night Preston slept with the other kids. The boys slept in the loft all squished together. We played card games, or wii games, watched movies, and ate a lot of yummy food. My sister and I brought our beads. I watched her make the coolest necklace for me (to match what I'm going to wear on our cruise). I couldn't believe how quick she made it.

We also celebrated her birthday and Preston's birthday coming up.
