Holiday in a Hideaway

The week went by so fast. And I cannot believe that it is 2007 already! Wait Wait Life! I'm having too much fun now, can we slow down?!

The cabin on Moosehead Lake was wonderful. The house had a beautiful view of the lake and we had few neighbors at this time of year. We didn't do much the entire week. Isn't that great? We cooked, we ate, we read, we watched TV/movies, and we went on hikes on nice days. Sabrina did wonderfully, no doubt because there's nowhere that lil girl would rather be than right by our sides (or right on our heels I should say). I could not move around the house without her close on my heels. You know how many times I've stepped on her?! Despite a frantic search throughout the ENTIRE first night, looking for her bed, she settled in just fine.

Riley was overjoyed to see snow and it was wonderful to see the happiness exude out of him. This was Sabrina's first real snow and she took to it in the same manner she took to the beach, like she's seen it all her life. She even learned to chomp on the snow like her big brother, although the first time she thought he was actually eating some delicious morsel from the ground was hilarious. Her nose when down to the ground and she searched high and low, zig-zagging all over the yard, trying to pick up the scent of a delicous morsel. Alas, the delicious treat Riley was snacking so contentedly on was right beneath her very paws.

The first few days the weather was quite nice. I don't believe it was any colder than 40 degrees in the daytime. By Christmas Day, the clouds rolled in and a blanket of snow came in the day after. The days grew increasingly colder as the week went on, but as you can see, we came prepared and I was quite warm. We took walks to Lily Bay State Park where Jeffrey, Riley, and I camped last year, Little Moose and Big Moose Ponds, and to the Sand Bar Point.
