with my sister and her family. It was a winter wonderland, so gorgeous. Most of our time was spent just being lazy. My BIL's family owns this HUGE cabin (house) up there and when it's not being rented it's up for grabs. It 
is a gorgeous place and can hold a large amount of people. I'm sure glad we don't have to pay the rental prices though....WOW! Check this place out! The kids loved all the activities/games there are. Nate and I enjoyed a very comfy theater room (Nate continues to covet it! Someday, my love!). On Saturday it snowed. We brought our snow gear and made a sledding path on the side of the house. We had to be careful, if any of us went too far we'd land right in the prickly 
bushes--OUCH! Nate got bored with this and decided the hot tub was calling his name. He got changed into his swim gear (Speedo) and soaked a bit while the kids played on the swingset and teeter-
totter. I've got some great pics of Nate in his skimpy Speedo but I've been threatened with my life should I post them (shucks!). When the hot tub got to be too much, Nate got a little crazy and played in the snow and on the swingset with only his Speedo on and a towel wrapped around him. Gosh, I love that man! : )Later on in the day we went over to Garden City's little city hall for their Chocolate Festival. It was pretty wimpy but we did find a booth that was chocolate
everything and it was WONDERFUL, especially fresh chocolate dipped strawberries! YUM! I got some raspberry jam and syrup at another booth (they do make some dang good raspberry jam!). 
From there we went to a local pizza place (blech!) and finished our meal with shakes. I got the famous Bear Lake raspberry shake, which made up for the not-so-great pizza.The rest of the weekend was just spent at the house enjoying family and all that this place has to offer. We're so blessed and thankful that we're invited whenever my sister and her family go up!
