Just some R&R

I love that at the cabin time stands still. I could wash dishes and look out the window at the views forever. Don't get me wrong when I am washing the dishes at home and see Mr. T walk by it also puts a smile on my face. HOWEVER... I needed to get out of the house for a little bit and a trip to the lodge was just what I needed. 

Jared and I were hysterically laughing at the amount of stops that were made on the way up but we made it to Native NewYorker in time. The last few times we have been in ShowLow we have stopped there and I have to say it is going to be a tradition! (Honey Hot wings MMM!)  

Right before we left Jared decided he was going to take James snowboarding. I of course couldn't go... (which why does Jared always do fun things when I am pregnant? As I recall he was involved in this too! Why does he get to have all the fun?jk)  BUT Jared took this picture in my absence.    James said he had a blast. He went on and on and on and on and on (typical if you know James) about his trip especially his totally cool front flip. Who cares if it was a complete accident! 

Later that day we took the kids sledding. It was FREEZING. The kids, well James and Emmy, had fun hitting bumps and crashing but one time hitting a bump with Anna and she had enough. ( Don't let Anna's sweet smile fool you!) We are always questioning where Anna's genes came from because Jared and I were both daredevils but she just watched (cough cough whined) until the other kids were done. Anna was content coloring, painting, drawing, cutting, and crafting all day. 

We spent Sunday lounging around and getting ready to go. I loved looking out the window and seeing the kids making snowmen, pushing each other on the sled, and just having fun. There is something about the cabin that makes you relax, makes you forget your reality, makes you breathe. I am so glad I went and had a chance to unwind with good views, good food, and good company!
