Snow Cages!

For Conference weekend we got to stay at the cabin all weekend!! Dad and Mom and Kris went up the weekend before Conference to get our dish satellight working... this was our very FIRST time to get to WATCH Conference at the cabin! Alana also got to come up to the cabin for the weekend... her daddy was out of town and her mom was working. We were all super nervous what the weekend would bring... JoyAnne is Alana's FAVORITE, but JoyAnne was working all weekend, so the rest of us had to be prepared to keep her entertained and happy!

Alana was super good all weekend!! She called me "My Favorite Aunt that is not JoyAnne"! haha! She still doesn't know my name! It was major HIGH STRESS to try to keep up my title as second favorite aunt!

This is Alana wearing one of the snowmobiling helmets! She LOVED snowmobiling!! (She is definitely her mother's child...)

We made a WICKED-AWESOME snow fort (actually Amy did most the work the day before) and threw snowballs at all the passer-bys (which included Grandma, Joni, Grandpa, and Kris... oddly enough there aren't too many people just waundering around the cabin driveway).

And the BEST part of playing in the snow... Kris dug us a snowcave!! There is still so much snow up at the cabin!! Kris dug the cave so we could slide down the entrace and climb out the back door! Alana insisted on calling it a "cage" instead of cave! EVERYONE slid down the cave, even Grandpa!!

Can you see Alana helping Kris dig in the snow? I love how little kids LOVE to be helpful! It was making me laugh so hard!

Doesn't Joni look like a model with her sunglasses and hat?! I also love this picture of Amy... this is what any 1st Grader would be doing also... looking down the cave entrance! She is obviously in her perfect profession!

Grandpa coming out of the Snow "Cage"!!

I couldn't resist this picture... it makes me grin everytime I see it! I have no idea what face Alana is making... I think I caught her while she was talking (shocker... she talks A LOT)! This is a picture of Alana riding in the snowmobile sled on our way from the cabin to the car. Dad and Amy are riding behind us.
