New Years Trip at the Cabin (part 1)

We have had a New Years trip to my parents cabin every year since it was built. This was the third trip. Vivi and I invite a bunch of friends to come up and hang out over New Years. People bring games and snow stuff and go skiing and hiking in the area around the cabin. This year we created a little sledding run on the side of the house and made a couple of snow forts. Enjoy the pictures!

Here we have most of the gang playing games at the dining table and coffee table in the great room of the cabin. We had a total of 28 people up there this year and it was great fun! It is amazing that we can fit so many people together in one space but it works out well.

There were 8 kids this year and we made the sledding run on the side of the house for them to play in. We would take them out every evening after diner and sled with them until they got tired. It usually took and hour or two of sledding, but then they would fall right asleep and we would be able to enjoy the rest of the evening with out needing to tend to them. We also had a snow fort on one side of the drive way and Mike and Heather made a snow den to sleep in on the other side. They ended up sleeping out in their little den every night. I didn't get a picture of it, but it was a nice little set up.
