We headed for the cabin this past weekend for the first time during the winter season. In years past we have never been able to drive past the main road in a car. Access was only via snowmobile.
We left Saturday night and reached the cabin after dark. It was a good thing we had hired someone to plow us a place to park. With over 6 feet of snow it would have taken us all night to clear a spot for the car. What a surprise and shock to see that we could not even see the front door. It was completly covered with snow right up to the eves. It took the three of us about an hour and a half to dig a pathway to the door.
We finally made it to the door and once inside we realized how cold it was. We fired up the wood stove and some heaters it warmed up, but only a little bit. We hurried and got ready for bed, piled on the blankets and dozed right off to sleep. During the night I had to take off a couple of blankets, I was too hot.
Sunday morning after a hearty breakfast we headed outside to a glorious day! It was sunny and a nice 35-40 degrees. It was warm enough to melt the snow. The boys built a snow cave, Caden and I did some sledding and we just relaxed and enjoyed each others company.
All in all it was some very much needed family time and well worth the trip.
Enjoy the pictures.
