Snow Trip, Day 2 - Fixing machines and snow play

We woke up, still pretty tired, stiff, and sore... We had breakfast of bacon and eggs. Matt went in the basement and started the generator which the cabin uses to charge the batteries for the lights. Here is a view of the empty lake at the dam.



The abandoned sled. No critters tried to get to the food :)

The plan was for Matt and Papa to go back out to the truck to get some supplies and tools to try and fix the Mountain Max. While they were gone, Shannon and the kids rested and then played in the snow outside.

Shannon and Brandon sledding down the hill. Brandon said it was AWESOME!




Sarah on the balcony.

Ben climbed to the top of the shed roof.


And the roof of the cabin.


Ben made a snowman.


Here's how we make water to wash dishes and flush the toilet. Melt snow..



Passing the evening... Brandon and Emily watch the Ipad nano.


So in the end that day, they brought in the sled of food and we still had only 1.5 machines. At the truck were still more food, gas, and clothing.

Funny for the day: Ben was so excited that he wanted to go pee in the snow.... OK... go ahead... So later we find that he pee'd on the snow on the balcony that we intended to use for dish water... He was only allowed to use the toilet after that. We didn't use that snow!
