It started out with a bang! We picked the kids up from school early...or at least we tried to. Courtney was not happy about going away for the weekend. She wanted to stay behind and go to the Salem Hills High School basketball game. I actually had to go into the lunch room and find her because she ignored the note to come out. We almost had a little scene! So after that, we got on the road and made our way to Oxford, Idaho (about 3 hours away). Our friend Shaun knew of a great cabin to rent that would hold us all! We are quite a crowd too - between the 5 couples we have 18 kids! This cabin is nestled on the hillside all alone with fields and fields to snowmobile in. The cabin had 7 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms, kitchen and 2 sitting areas in addition to a giant loft area- it was 3 levels in all. We had plenty of room for everyone to play, read, nap, eat, visit or do whatever! We are so blessed to have such wonderful friends that we enjoy spending time with. On Valentines Day we set the kids up with pizza and a movie projected on the wall and off the adults went to
Downata Hot Springs for their "Steak & Soak" special- it was so fun! The funny thing was, some of us ladies didn't bring our swimming suits, but no problem because they rent them. Sick I said - NO WAY! But guess what...I rented and so did my friends. We didn't like our suits, but we still had fun and thank goodness it was dark! What a fun weekend! We had an awsome time - hopefully we will make this a new tradition!
And so it begins...Courtney is happy!
Matt is happy to go!
So is Alec!
Our posterity - at least 12 of them!

Too bad kids have to go through adolesence, they miss so much while tryin to be cool. Courtney will survive and look back and think how dumb it was to be so cool. But hey, it looks like everyone else had a good time and I am sure she did too, but may be too cool to say so! Ha, LOL
You guys do fun things! Maybe I need to join your group! At least it looks like Courtney cheered up. One day she will be grateful she had such a fun family!
