Weekend at the property

We had a wonderful snow-filled new year weekend at the property. We tried to go up earlier but our all wheel drive car got stuck at the property. We had about 2 1/2 feet!! Luckily, Grandma and Grandpa Buddy were watching the kids. We dropped off a few things, Jerome dug us out and we turned around and headed back home. We saw security on our way out and he promised that we would have a path by the time we wanted to come. Not only did they plow us a path to our place, they also plowed into our driveway so we could park!! So when we were up for the weekend, we had piles of snow, but we were able to get around. while we were there, it snowed about another 1/2 a foot, but it also melted a bit as well.

We brought in the new year with Jerome's famous margarita's and a little mini-party at the property. We also had a little snafu with the water. We were just fine, the water was turned off and all, but the hose going from the facet to the trailer froze, so we spent some of the night trying to thaw out the hose... we finally put it in the bathtub and boiled water and basically soaked it in warm water until the ice melted. This is what stories are made of... right? :o)

We played low key for the next couple of days and ventured out on Saturday. We've been on the hunt to get Dayton fully decked out with snow gear... we finally found all his clothing before the weekend, the only thing missing was a sled. WE FOUND IT!!! We got a sled so on Sunday we went sledding before we went home.

WIPE OUT!
We were OK, but Dayton and Mom had a little difficulty.

Daddy... did he wipe out?!
Nope, apparently, he can handle a sled better than me!

Another wonderful weekend at the property!!!
