We went up to the cabin for Spring break this past weekend.
We spent Saturday and Sunday listening to General Conference on the radio and going snowshoeing, sledding, playing games, and eating in between breaks. Good times.
Zack's mom came up with us but had to leave on Sunday night. But she had a good time while she was there. ...I think. :)
The puppies had fun racing up and down the hills.
It was just the two of us (4 if you count quadrupeds) Monday and Tuesday. We cross-country skied up to Lily Lake on Monday. 
We wandered off the groomed trail part of the time and experienced real back country skiing. (Meaning we skied very slowly as we trudged through the snow. ..but still lots of fun!)

We ate lunch up at Lily Lake. We wanted to eat ON Lily Lake, but it was too sunny and bright and we didn't want to get more sunburned than we already were.
After lunch we headed back. In order to get to and from the trail head you have to go down a steep hill, cross a bridge, and then go up another steep hill.
Here's Zack ready to ski off the bridge.
And here's Zack just looking really cute.
It took about 2 1/2 to 3 hours to ski up and about an hour and a half to ski back. Needless to say, we were dead the rest of the evening. But the beauty of the cabin is that you can't really do anything but eat, play games, and watch movies on the tiny T.V. So recuperating was easy.
The next day we wanted to take the puppies with us on our ski adventure so we stayed close to home and followed a snow-mobile trial up to "the looking rock." It was my first time up to the looking rock. Dad and Andrew like to go up there sometimes during their "fresh air walks". I can see why it's called the looking rock. It's got a great view.
We skied home and spent the rest of the day, you guessed it, playing games, eating and watching movies. Zack did find some time to take the 4-wheeler out and drive it around in the snow. I declined to participate and opted to read my book instead.
Then we drove home. It was a good break. And now we want to go back.
Who wants to come with us? Can I have a show of hands?

I would come. But what is this talk of a cousin party? Let me know so I can try and fly out for it!
That looks wonderful!! How nice to get away and enjoy nature! I'd be exhausted too but I can see it would be worth it! Your puppies in the snow was my favorite pic!
Wow, that is such an amazing place. It is so beautiful and peaceful up there. I would love to join you up there.
