Winter Trip Up North

A couple weekends ago, we headed to the Cabin Home to enjoy some R&R in the snow!

C and I enjoyed a little quality time together as we donned snowshoes for the first time and took Ella for a walk on the frozen lake. It was crazy to walk across areas we typically boat and tube around giving us a who new perspective of the lake itself. As we walked we noticed a little golf course with fairways that had been created in the snow, snow blown ice rinks, ice houses and the like.  Our destination was an island across the lake, where Ella got to explore a bit and where we saw an Eagles Nest nestled atop a tall pine tree. Once I got over my fear of walking on the ice and all the huffing and puffing of my 7 month pregnant self…I found myself delighted by the adventure, truly a totally different world in the wintertime!

One morning, Gram, ‘Bampa’ (as his name has recently changed due to Sweet A’s growing vocabulary) A, and B made a surprise breakfast. B told us we couldn’t look…

And to our delight, this is what we discovered upon bellying up to the tableSmile.

Later, my Dad’s brother and son made the trek north to enjoy a little bit of winter at the lake. B enjoyed hearing stories from Uncle D!

The weekend itself was pretty lazy, but such a treat…it’s always nice to step away from the perpetual tasks of our neck of the wood to come up for air and enjoy the rest and relaxation (as much as is possible with two nuggets in tow and one on the way!)

Be blessed.
