Bear River Lodge Snowmobiling Adventure

We have had a lot of fun the past couple of weeks. The last weekend in January, Calvin, Camden and I went up to the Bear River Lodge for my parents neighborhood snowmobile party. We got to stay in the brand new, five-bedroom cabin, which was soooo nice! It is really a beautiful cabin. We went up on Thursday night, snowmobiled Friday, and went home on Saturday. Everything was so fun.

We didn't get up there until kind of late on Thursday because we had to wait for Calvin to get out of class. He did leave early though, so that was really nice of him :) We played some games and talked with the other people who were there. Everyone got checked into their cabins.

On Friday morning, we got up and made breakfast and packed lunches for the snowmobile ride. My grandparents were there and my grandma was so nice to stay and watch Camden while we went out on the ride. We then got ready to go out on our ride with 30 snowmobiles! What a HUGE group! We had all types on the ride. Some people brought their own snowmobiles, some rented singles, and some rented doubles.

It was the PERFECT day for snowmobiling! We had two feet of new snow and the sun was shining; it was amazing. With all that new snow and some inexperienced snowmobilers, Calvin spent a lot of time helping people get unstuck. We finally made it to a resting point and we got to go out and play in an area called the Super Bowls. This was the best ride of my life! The snow was just awesome. It was so much fun to ride out there in the brand new powder.

We then were going to try to go up the back of Double Hill and around, but the hill became a grave yard for the inexperienced. We watched as people tried to make it up the huge hill, but one by one, fell victim to the deep snow. After at least half an hour of trying to get people unstuck, we headed back to the Whitney warming hut. We stopped there and had lunch, then broke into smaller groups to finish up the day. Calvin and I went with my dad and about 6 other snowmobilers to take the off-road way back. This was a great ride! It was fun not to have to stop to get people unstuck (except maybe me a couple times, oops!).

When we got back, everyone had a little rest, and then it was time for dinner. We had dinner then played some games and went to bed. The next morning we had breakfast, then cleaned up and went home. What a weekend! When we got back to our house, we just spent some time relaxing.

Well, that was our awesome adventure at the Bear River Lodge! It is nice to be able to spend some time enjoying what the lodge has to offer since I spend every day working for it!

Camden is doing great! He is so cute and he's growing so fast. He is totally getting into everything now. He crawls across the floor, pulling himself along with his arms. He's also climbing up on stuff and pulling himself up to standing. It is truly amazing how fast he learns.

So, I can't put pictures on my computer right now, but I will add some soon!
