Island Park

We went this weekend to the cabin we stayed at for Cambria's birthday in Island Park. Behind the cabin is where the lake is. It was covered with about 2 feet if ice and then over 4 feet of snow. Aaron's friend got one of the snowmobiles stuck in about 6 feet of snow. We had to dig on one side of it and then pick it up and keep moving it to one side and up higher to try and get some traction. It was fun being in that much snow. By the time we dug it out, the pit under it went way over my stomach, and there was still snow under that and then ice, so it was also kinda scary! In the videos the jump was made off the deck which is the second story of the cabin. These pictures are from our snowmobile ride. We went to the bridge in Island park and back. It took about 2 1/2 hours. In some places the snow went clear up to the street signs but this was the only sign I could get close enough to and not sink too far in the snow.

Cambria went for a ride in the snow. She did not have snow shoes so we didn't let her run around outside, and also she hates the snow. She won't touch it at all. She panics a little bit when we take her outside in the snow, but she loves looking at the snow from inside the house!
