Time to settle into a different house. We often had deer walking by, which are nice to watch!
Jennifer tried out driving a snowmobile for the first time. Grandpa wanted her and Daniel to get comfortable...maybe they could ride up the mountain on our outing?
Packing up for the big day! Matthew and Jethro loaded up the sleds for us. There is quite a collection of them!
After driving to the trail we have to do unload everything again.
And off we go! Grandpa convinced Daniel to drive the bravo up the mountain. It's a dependable machine that's easy to learn on. He took his time going up, and did a great job!
Jennifer doubled up with me. And Evelyn went with Grandma. Neither of them wanted to go with Philip. :p He has a bit of a reputation.
Such a beautiful day to be up in the mountains!!
We all made it to the cabin. Some of us a lot faster than the others...but we all made it!
Then it was time to go fooling around in the deep snow. And getting stuck, or helping out anyone who got stuck.
Such lovely views!
I got permission to drive one of the stronger and newer sleds. It was a lot of fun to drive! :)
Having snack and chilling together. Jethro tried to convince a whiskey jack to come feed out of his hand. It was kind of shy today.
Lunch in the cabin.
Almost a family picture.
Heading back down...we have to stop to analyze some sled problems. It's pretty rare to have a trip with so many old sleds and have nothing struggle. But this time it was Grandma's new sled!
Beautiful! God's handiwork is so amazing!
Once we were down we had to load everything up again. It was pretty warm at the bottom...the season for snowmobiling is reaching it's end! We are super thankful we were able to enjoy a trip like this! (Except maybe Evelyn...who said she'd rather have spent the day with her cousins)

It's such a different world up there. I can so well understand that people love to explore and enjoy the beauty of God's creation up there. It's not something I have ever had a chance to experience and I'm almost a bit jealous. Your children have had a rich upbringing with plenty of unique experiences. I love that.
What a lot of snowmobiles!! I think I counted nine but I wondered if I was missing the first one on the trailer. It must be a lot of work to get them all on there, nice and tightly together so they all fit.
