new years and a snowman

This is where we spent our new-years...what a great little get away to start off the new year.!! Which leads to one of my goals for the new year....go and see more places like this and this. I wish here to learn to do this but I know it will have to wait. I also want to visit old favorites like this one.
Another must for the new year a gym pass.

There were other things that were a part of our new years get away.. like this snowman. Canyon and Ellie like to call him Mr. Tickle bush... that's what they have named every snowman in the past few years..... Your guess is as good as mine on that one.
Other cabin activities included.....
Snowmobiling, Fireworks for bringing in the New Year (big ones), collecting aspens, building a snow fort, tubing, and food food and more food and that = gym pass for the new year.

Canyon had a great time.. his favorites: the snow fort, getting huge icicles, and shooting his brand new Red Ryder at soda cans and man-made targets only!! (at the request of his mother). I did make the exception for a poisonous animal if he happened to encounter one.

Lucy experienced her first snowmobile ride. That is the only form of transportation into the cabin she had no choice. We bundled her up and she did great coming in and getting out... and brrr.. it was a little chilly. Good thing singing pat-a-cake will take her mind off almost anything including below freezing temps it seems.

Hoping for a great 2008!
