As you know, we go up to Mike's family cabin every weekend to rebuild and restore it so it can last another 50 years. Well, this last weekend we were surprised to see the first snow at the cabin!! It started snowing on Friday, Sept. 15th and it didn't stop until the afternoon of the 16th!


This is the earliest time that snow has been at the cabin since Mike can remember. Everything was covered by about 5 inches of snow! It was weird to see all the green underneath the snow, but so beautiful!



Our brother-in-law Steve was crazy enough to ride the tote gote that he had built for about 3 miles to the cabin! He said that when he started the sun was shining, but the closer he got to the cabin the worse the weather got, but he just kept going. Unfortunately, the snow also took our power out in the morning, so when he came we didn't have any heat to help warm him up. It was hard to try and work without any heat. We didn't feel our toes until 7 o'clock at night when we were heading back home.

Luckily we didn't need to rely on power tools too much. But we did get a lot of the insulation up and our FIRST wall!!! We are so excited that we are to the point of drywalling. Granted, we still have a long way to go, but we're getting closer every weekend.

Rebuilding the cabin has been hard, but at the same time it is so much fun to build it so it will last for our kids, and their kids, and their kids...and hopefully even longer! :)

The snow was cold but it made everything so beautiful and pure!
