This is the group that made it to the Cabin. My Oldest four siblings (my dads kids) weren't there. Either was my sisters Marcelle and Jill. Kenzie's Husband JT couldn't make it either. They were missed. We had 13 adults and 13 kids. We rented two snow mobiles. FUN, FUN, FUN!!I have had a heck of a time getting this slide show to work. The image below is some sort of link to view the images individually. If you click on it, it will take you to another folder.
Anyway.... as you can tell from the photos, we were in Utah for the Holidays. It was a winter wonderland the entire three weeks. Starting with the Cabin where we had our fair share of snowy adventures. When we arrived at the cabin, it was snowing pretty heavily and had been for awhile. So only two out of our 6 cars had 4-wheel drive and could make it up to the cabin. The rest of us waited below for our turn to be hauled up the mountain.
Little did I know, but during the 1 1/2 hours that we were waiting, the first load of people really had it rough! When they arrived at the cabin, they couldn't get up the drive. They had to park about 200 yards away and then just carry all the stuff inside using an assembly line. They had a bunch of kids as well as my mom with them (who my brother Spencer had to practically carry inside). The funny (maybe not so funny at the time) part was when they got all unloaded and left to get the rest of us.. Stacy, Kenzie and Kym were hard at work clearing the drive way with brooms and regular dirt shovels. When they were nearly half way finished, a snow plow came and did the entire drive in no time!!! Thanks girls, it was a nice thought!
We stayed three days. The cabin was beautiful! It was big enough for all of us to have our own room. The kids had a bunk room for the boys and the girls. There was a big game room down stairs. Needless to say we had a great time! It was the perfect family gettaway.
The rest of the vacation was nice and relaxing. We stayed with my brother Spencer and his wife Kym most of the time. They have a nice big house a few blocks from the Timp Temple.
Everytime we passed it, Leah would sing "I love to see the Temple" It was so sweet!
We spent Christmas with my sister Jamie. We had a great time! We got snowed in... It was perfect.
