Cold but Cozy

We haven't gotten to Michael's parents cabin since Christmas time, so we jumped at the chance for some time to hang at the "compound" this past weekend.  We were excited to host our good friend Lucia, whom was excited herself to escape the blanket of white surrounding her home in Washington DC.

Lucia, a roommate of mine from college, did arrive a day late due to snow delays... but just in time for cabin fun!  Other college friends were able to join us as well.
Mehandis could not resist in joining us for picture poses.  But he was fast asleep by the time we made it to the hot tub. 

Brr... was a lot colder getting into the hot tub than getting out.  Thanks goodness for the creative coverups we crafted up that night.  Love the tracks our bare feet made in the snow.  Maybe Lu should visit her California friends next time she wants to escape February's freeze! 

Later in the weekend Mehandis, Michael and I ventured onto the shores of the backyard lake.  "Where is the water?", Mehandis wanted to know.  And then when we headed towards the ice fishing shanties, "Where are the fish?".  We chatted with some of the fishermen and found that they were definitely biting (the fish not the men).  Also got to see someone drill a hole through the 18 inches of ice.  Very cool... literally.


Sometimes feels like winter could go on forever.  But if we can keep having such a wonderful time sharing those times together... I will take it!
