Rowland Canyon

The day after Christmas we went up to the family cabin and stayed for two nights.  Brendan's parents came and also two of Brendan's cousins with their spouses and kids.  It snowed the whole time we were there, which made it a lot of fun for sledding and snowmobiling.  We played in the snow and watched movies and warmed up by the fire.  It was a pretty relaxing stay.  

 We stayed up in the crow's nest.  In the first picture it is the very top part of the house with the pitched roof.  The kids loved it up there, but it was a lot of stairs, 47 to be exact from the main floor, but there is also an elevator that goes up too.
 Hazel and Dad having a blast!

 Hattie went down with Jesse and loved it, but she got cold pretty fast and went back inside.

 It was nice having the Mule to take us  back up to the top each time after our ride down.

Brendan's dad tried to leave early in the morning to go back to Provo to get some things done and be back before people woke up, but because of all the snow he couldn't figure out where the road was.  He ended up in the field.  When the road was plowed later in the day, it was very obvious he wasn't near the road.  Brendan had to shovel him out for a few hours, and he wasn't very happy about it.
