Sweat Lodge or Cabin?








Man that little stove gets hot.

We got that sucker pumpin' Saturday night and with a little more work, we could have hit 90 in the cabin. Needless to say, it was hot. Very hot. I got up once Saturday night to put some wood in the stove but by 7:30 Sunday AM it was still close to 60. And comfortable. Sadie kept saying the cabin was "nice and toasty".

We had a lot of fun this weekend. The first family overnight at the cabin. It's a pretty cool feeling sleeping in the cabin I helped build with my family. Just another piece of the puzzle and the dream being realized. We did some sledding, snowshoeing, made hot cocoa, and had a great time. Played board games and cards at night and went out to breakfast in the morning. Perfect stars last night that stretched the whole sky. Amanda and I stood out in the total darkness and pointed out different constellations that touched every corner of the sky.

We stopped off at the Yankee Candle Flagship store on the way up and that place turned out to be a lot of fun, especially for Sadie. She had a blast. That place is like the Disney World of candle stores. Next time, we may stop and make our own candles.

The weather was great and I can't wait to get back up there. 7 weeks from now, spring will be here and it will be a whole new world to enjoy up there. It's fun to go up and just relax with my family, though I do love going up and working sunrise to sunset too. We've come a long way.
