We talked about it as a family, and the final decision was that most of our favorite holiday memories happen in Island Park. After more discussion, the reasons why is that we are secluded to being a family. Nobody calls, nobody shows up, nobody leaves, nobody spends all their time on the computer or texting or being a loner. We are all together. And it looks like a post card. And that makes it wonderful. Dad borrowed a friends snowmobile this year, so we had one snowmobile the whole time. The kids had a great time being pulled in the snow, playing and just being outside.
It was COLD, but who cares....we brought enough snow stuff to keep a small army warm. And, it did. But, the truth is, no matter how long you spend getting each kids bundled, they really only want to go out for a few minutes, then they come back in.
Certainly not because they were cold, just because they want to. We had lots of fun playing with cousin Madolyn too.
And Braden just couldn't get enough of Baby Avery. He loved her so much.
Braden spent most of the time getting into messes in the cabin, but his favorite thing was the hochi sweeper vacuum thing.
He loved it, and was perfectly content to play with that all day long. His other favorite things was going up the stairs, then screaming at the top that he wanted to come back down. Mom called it the "greener grass syndrome". He is a funny boy. It is just so fun to spend time together doing crazy things
and playing games, and reading books, and watching movies, and napping, and doing whatever we want, because that is all there is to do.
