Uinta Mountains Weekend

We had the pleasure of spending our pre-Super-Bowl weekend at our friends the Schellhase's 'cabin' in the Uinta mountains. They call it a cabin, but it's more like a luxury retreat. It has 5 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms and every corner is beautifully appointed with homey decor. They built it themselves over the course of six years and their hard work really shows. And on top of all that, Angela is an excellent cook who loves to entertain (and we love to eat and to be entertained). Brandon and I both got a chance to do some cross-country skiing (although not at the same time) and Gavin had a great time playing with 6-year-old Reagan, who was very gracious about sharing her toys. With the exception of Gavin getting a stomach bug and throwing up and Vivian having a hard time getting to sleep at night, it was a relaxing and rejuvenating couple of days.

Viv catches some ZZZ's on A&A's bed.

Allen shares the couch with vizslas Cognac and Quinn (the dogs have their own bedroom and pretty much sit wherever they want).

Gavin and Lucy get acquainted at Tracy & Cindy's cabin.

That place is awesome! And I'd be totally down for a ride in a sno-cat, jealous!
