The Further I Slide













We have just returned from Saugatuk.

We have never been to the Bean cottage in Winter and we also had Daddy with us which was wonderful.

Lake Michigan was so gorgeous, covered in snow and ice, like a distant planet or the Snow Queen's lair,

Missy and I went snowshoeing down to the shore. It seems like 2 seconds ago, we were lugging beach chairs and bikini clad girls down the hill.

The best part of the trip was the sledding. The Beans and the Sipes enjoyed hours of sledding through the beautiful forest.

The Beans also acquired an amazing vehicle called an Argo. It looks like a tank and it can drive through any treacherous terrain. The terrain here being 4 feet of snow and ice.

Due to the fact that no one else in the area has an Argo, we had the forest to ourselves.
After a day of winter sports the girls and dads went in the hot tub. The dads had a good soak. The girls took it upon themselves to jump out, roll around in the snow and then return to the the steamy water.Missy and I looked on from the family room in our flannels and slippers.
It was truly winter at it's finest.
