President's Day weekend

We had a great long weekend of fun. For President's day weekend we rented a cabin at Camp Sherman. It was the cutest place. They had a lodge that had tv(no tv's in the cabins)pool table, foosball, and ping pong. They also had a basketball court, tetherball and playground. We were about 15 minutes from HooDoo and 10 minutes from Sisters. We had a blast. Each night we had dinner in Sisters. On Sunday, Ellie and I did the Autobahn sled trails. The weather was awful, it was raining but we still had fun. Jack and Doug played in the snow a little and then stayed dry while we were sledding. On Monday we took Ellie to HooDoo for ski school. She did great. She loves skiing. After ski school we sledded and played in the snow. Monday was a beautiful day. We also went to the fish hatchery and saw the head of the Metolious River. We had a great trip. The kids are so much fun to travel with!


They even had a low hoop so Jack could make lots of baskets.

Relaxing and looking so much alike!
Jack loved ping pong, the kids had never played before.

Getting soaked but having quality time together
It is a really fun sledding park, now I want to go when it is NOT raining!
While we were in line Ellie would go play with Doug and Jack.
Jack likes the snow until he gets too cold and then he is done.
The rope tow takes you up the hill. You could choose to walk, but chose riding to the top.
We realized she had a rip in her snowsuit so she was soaked all the way through, but she still loved it.

The next day was very different weather, perfect for skiing. Ellie was able to ride the big chairlift and do two runs on real beginner runs. It was really fun to watch her improve.
Now this is the kind of day to play in the snow!

Even after a day of skiing she was ready for more fun!

Walking to the head of the Metolious River
We played lots of games: Monopoly, Uno and Yahtzee
