Winter Adventure
We spent the 24th and 25th at a cabin in the mountains up north near Idaho City. Although the cabin lacked a few of the comforts of home (indoor plumbing, electricity, a driveway), it made up for it in other ways (cozy woodstove, flannel Smokey the Bear Curtains, beautiful surroundings, plenty of winter recreational opportunities, and peace and quiet).
Here we are, starting off. Little did we know that Duckie and my Schnuffelditucher (security blankets) were still at home (gasp!) -- that's right -- Mama and Papa have remembered those ever-so-important items on every trip until this one. 
Here we are playing Jenga. This was when everything was ok again -- after we got the fire going and the cabin warmed up and after we called up Duckie on the dinosaur phone to make sure he was ok. 
We drank hot apple cider to warm up after checking out the moon and the stars and the little Christmas tree in the woods (see photo in previous entry)
In the morning we put on our snowshoes and went out and explored Beaver Creek.
Though I didn't mind peeing in the pee pee pot by the fire, and though I liked sleeping in a sleeping bag between Mama and Papa on the big high bed, and though I loved sledding on the little hill across from the cabin, I still missed my Duckie very much, so after a fun day in the snow, we decided to hike out and drive home instead of staying one more night.
