Bear Lake Cabin

Several years ago my sister Chirstine and her husband bought a cabin in Bear Lake.  Das and I haven't had a chance until now to get up there with them to check it out.  This is the view of the lake from the patio. 

 We headed up there Friday morning and stayed until Sunday afternoon.  Christine came up there with her two kids and her brother in law Dan came up to do a little hunting and brought his cute family up for Friday night.

 So a bit about their cabin.  It is beautiful!  You walk into the main floor that has the kitchen, family room, and two master bedrooms.  Both bedrooms were furnished with king sized beds, showers, bathtubs, and fireplaces.

The basement has two full bathrooms, and six bedrooms.  Two bedrooms had queen size beds and 4 had bunkbeds with the full bottom.  A ladder from the side of the kitchen takes you up into a small loft with 4 twin beds.  So it sleeps a total of 24 people!

And I can't leave out all their toys:  fourwheelers, a six person ranger (us up top) snowmobiles, and wave runners.  We bundled the kids up for a small ride on the ranger.  It was just noisy and bumpy enough to put Logan to sleep.

Unfortunately there wasn't enough snow to go sledding and the wind was blowing strongly.  So we spent most of the time indoors just relaxing and playing games.  Saturday Dan and his family went home, and Craig came up when he got off work.  We all climbed into bed and I had Das turn our fire on cuz I got cold the night before.  Around 2am we were both stripping down and throwing blankets off until I finally told Das to turn it off.  And then the wind was howling all night long.  We woke up, cleaned up, and packed up to head home.

We really enjoyed spending time with Craig and Christine.  They are so generous to let people use their cabin.  They have even given us a weekend to take up some of our friends.  We are looking forward to it.

Thanks again for sharing your amazing cabin with us.  We had a wonderful time!

Great family! Good friends! And the best of times!

Logan and more Logan

 What would we do without our sweet Logan!?  Everyday is something new with him. I can't believe how fast he is growing. He loves his daddy and big brothers so much.

A few months ago we bought a gate to keep him from going upstairs.  That obviously hasn't worked out so well.

And when he gets to the top, he thinks he is so funny and will sit on the edge laughing.  Scares me to death, but he has learned to come back down, so I think the gate will come down as well.

 Any time we pull out the computer, iphones, itouches......Logan is instantly by our side ready to play.  He manuevers them pretty well. The other day we did face time with Das while Das was sitting next to us on the couch. He thought that was pretty great.

Das took this picture last week of him being very persistent to go play with his brothers upstairs.

And he got stuck!  I am sure one of these days he will fall down the stairs.  It's bound to happen.  But at least we tried.  A few other little things he does...fakes laughing when we are all laughing at something.  Says the word sh**.  Well at least that's what it sounds like.  Says here kitty kitty, or at least tries. Says dada.  Signs "eat" and "play". He makes a grunting noise while turning his face red.(constipation sound) He sticks his tongue out and spits when he is angry.  He has started hitting us when he isn't getting his way...which isn't often.  And my favorite...he gives slobbery kisses and loves.
