Cabin Fever

Steve and Kristina so generously invited us up to their cabin for the weekend. I never realized what all the hype was about. I'm and east coast girl. We got plenty of snow and cool weather. Going to the beach house was the thing to do. Well, now I have a severe case of Cabin Fever! This is going to be a long one because I enjoyed this trip so much so enjoy!

You'd think that leaving at a strategic time such as nap time would allow you to enjoy a 2 1/2 hr. drive with a guaranteed 1 out of 5 kids sleeping. Well, Andrew only clunked out for about half the time. Oh Well. The car was stuffed again for another journey.

Kaden - Thanks for sharing your 'elmut' and playing with me! -Drew

Nathan's first fishing lesson.

It's a good thing Steve's so patient and LOVES fishing so much that he does mind answering all of Nathan's questions!

This is what I see now every time I close my eyes. One day when I get to be on Deal or No Deal and I win enough money to pay off my mortgage, I'm buying a cabin right on this mountain side:)

Take a good look at this fish because I'm sure that if they retell this story to you. The fish will be as long as their wing span:)

Steve went to go get the truck and hook up the boat. Nathan had a hard time holding on to the boat because of the wind. Finally he said -forget it- and decided that there was no way he was going to stay dry.

So, you can see that Nathan got soaked. Look at how Steve handles the situation.

Steve decides that rolling up his pants is better than getting them wet!:) Sorry for teasing you buddy!:)

The fishing lesson wasn't over until the kids learned how to scale and gut the fish.

Ever wonder what the inside of a fish looks like? Well, now you can cross that off your list of curiosity.

4 Wheeling was a blast. Can't wait to get my pink 4 wheeler:)

The kids made best friends with Ani. Ani - Come and visit us. I'm sure Uncle Nate will let you in the backyard for a couple of hours.

They took off for Navajo Lake later in the afternoon and caught 5 fish. Great job Jalyne! Better luck next time Taylor:(

Nathan wanted me to take this picture so that M&M would be proud!

Unfortunately there's was work on monday and you can't stay out of reality for too long. Fortunately Andrew slept the entire way home and we didn't even run out of gas. Thanks for a great weekend Dixon's and can't wait till next time. We ran by these beasts on the way down the mountain.
