Oops! Stuck Again

This morning started out with a quick game of Dominion before Matt left. I once again dominated. Maysen, Stockton and Mike played with us. We spent the rest of the day sledding and packing up. The kids were spoiled with two snowmobiles and only four sledders . . . they had a ton of fun.

Once we closed down the cabin and started to leave, we got stuck. Our poor van couldn't take the Idaho roads very well. We got stuck coming into the cabin and we got stuck leaving the cabin. For the record, we didn't try to drive up to the cabin, we have never tried to go up to the cabin in the snow....even with a 4-wheel drive.

After trying to get the car out, we went and got Sharon to help us. She recruited Derek and Lauren, thank goodness. With their help, and their 4-wheeler, they were able to pull us out and point us in the right direction. I am so glad they were there! Although being snowed in at the cabin wouldn't be the worst thing in the world. I wonder what Mike's job would think of that....especially when he is scheduled to go on call in a few days.

We made it to Idaho without incident. Unless you call Preston throwing up an incident. My kids get car sick so easily. The round-abouts on the street before Grandma's did him in. When will I learn to be prepared for the inevitable throw up in the car? I am a slow learner.

We stopped at Grandma's, cleaned Preston up and headed for Sizzler. (That's how confident we were that Preston was just car sick.) We got the kids down for bed before Grandma and Grandpa came home from the Couch's. Mike and I talked to them for quite awhile before bed. It was really nice. I love being at Grandma's, I wish we could stay longer. Although it is suppose to storm tonight/tomorrow....we'll see if our car can make it home!
