Winter Camp

I didn't know what to title this one, because usually if I say we are at "Winter Camp" it means New Fork. But this was actually a work trip that Josh had to do, and we went with him!
Josh works for the county, and he sometimes works up at the Youth Camp. Sometimes meaning, once a year at most. Usually less than that. Anyway! We've gone before!
We usually invite my parents. My dad has a lot of history up here, just as Josh and I both do as well. We used to come up all the time as kids, as a ward, for youth camps, or just to come up with the family who I was really good friends with their daughter, and her dad was the care taker then. I have spent many a night in this cabin! And now I get to come back with my husband and children! :)
We had a fun time playing in the snow. Here is Dad snow shoeing.
Here are the girls playing in the snow.
Grandpa with his girls!
Me snow shoeing. I LOVE snow shoeing! This snow is waist deep without snow shoes!
And Mom snow shoeing. See me in the background?
Josh and the girls on the snow mobile.
Snow Angels!
Remember-Josh is here to work! Does it look like he got much done?
Just kidding Josh-He really did work his bum off. We hardly saw him!
Me and the girls.
The girls loved playing on the stairs.
Funny Story...we came up here 2 years ago. Tessa brought her Tinkerbell toys. When we went to leave, we couldn't find her "Silvermist" doll. Just before we left to come up here this time, she out of the blue asked me if we could find her doll. I told her no. I said there was no way it was still up there. She insisted that we would find it. I was shocked that she even remembered it. But as soon as we got up there, I noticed on a table that it was just sitting there!! I couldn't believe it and she was SO OVERJOYED to find it!

The cabin. The Youth Camp is just down the hill.

Taking the girls for a snowmobile ride. (I drive a snowmobile like a granny...in case you were wondering.)

Josh and the kids (including the black fuzzy one.)

We had a great time! We always do. It was very relaxing-and just the right amount of cabin fever! It's nice sometimes to just have NOTHING to do, sit around and watch movies, play sudoku puzzles, phase 10, and eat way too much! :)

I really REALLY hate the snow... but seeing how much fun you all had is making me so jealous! I want to go stay in a cabin and play in the snow!

Just so you know, I'm sure you drive a snowmobile better than me. I've never even seen one in person before. LOL! Looks like you guys had tons of fun though!!
