Spring Break 2009

One Cabin.
Two Families.
Three Days of
Un-Four-gettable Fun
with the Wilcox's.






You would think a snow-packed week with our four children, the Wilcox's five, and visiting pals the Clawson's five would have led to serious bouts of cabin fever. Nay, we say.
*
The children played, and played, and played.
The mama's talked, and talked, and talked.
It was a wonderful vacation.
*
And then there was...John.
Dear, John.Text Color
*
He pushed our ice-bound car across two lanes of traffic.
Slipped on the snowy cabin drive, falling flat.on.his.back.
Wiped out on the ski slopes.
Lost his iPod while shoveling our car out of a snow drift.
*
And smiled all the while.
*
Is it any wonder that the drive home included
twenty minutes of musing upon moving to California?

So cute!!!! And what a very kind person you are to leave out the swimming pool smells! (although, I assume this is your 'family site' and you may not want to write words such as "hell hole" on a family-friendly site! So happy to have those memories with you... somehow you guys make everything fun!!!
