annual snowmobile trip

our annual snowmobile trip with my family was last weekend. this year we stayed in ashton, id in one of the only cabins we could find that could hold all 41 of us. the cabin was called stonefly lodge and it was perfect! hopefully we will be returning there next year.

a group of us met in ashton a little early to enjoy a big jud's hamburger. and then it was off to the cabin for three nights of relaxation.

right away we could tell this would be a little different than last year. technology had abounded in this family and kids (and adults) were being entertained by ipad's, smartphone's, kindle's, kindle fire's, and ds's. luckily, there was still plenty of interacting.

melissa and blake fed us a delicious chicken enchilada soup and then we spent the rest of the evening playing and soaking in the hot tub.

board games were a MUST! over the weekend we played our fair share of games. b.s. w/ dice, nine innings, farkle, word blur, spoons, murder murder, etc.

some of the big boys (and dad) brought their computers and played quite a bit of company of heroes.
