Shake, Rattle, and Snow

Day 4: Snowmobiling!!!!!!!!!!!! It was one of the most exciting things we have ever done!!! The most majestic views. We were in awe of God's creation. Mom said "there has to be somewhere in heaven that looks like this". It was that beautiful! Nothing like using ALL of your body weight to turn the machine. Cutting in the snow was so much fun! We went all the way up to the top of the Continental Divide. Along the way we lost Dad and Drew because they liked to lag behind then rip the engine and flor it! So, in doing that they got lost and STUCK. Yes, that is right Dad got stuck in 4 ft. of snow with a 500lb. machine. So Drew happened to get this on the flip video. So funny! Our guide went back and found them, Praise God! :) Halfway through the trip we stopped at this little cabin to have Hot Chocolate. The cabin was owned by the Indians and, it was built in the early 1800's. The snowmobile company pays them $80,000 a yr. to use the cabin and the land around it. We did not get cold one bit. It did warm up today to a mere 27 degrees so we felt like we were in Hawaii. OK not really. :) We did have on these super warm suits and the machines had hand warming handles and feet warmers. Very Toasty! What a day it was. Such a great adventure. After that we came back and had some adventures in the hot tub. After dinner Mom and I made Tea Cakes which are a Christmas Tradition (recipe from My Grandma Betty). Then Scrabble then bed. :)
