Zion Ponderosa

Last weekend we stayed in a cabin at Zion Ponderosa for Andrew's work Christmas party. Each family gets their own cabin (which is bigger than our house) for two nights. Addie was so excited when we got there and ran around for hours, going up and down the stairs, jumping off the fireplace ledge to the pillows, and rummaging through the cupboards.
We finally convinced her to calm down by watching a movie and having some popcorn-it lasted maybe 10 minutes. The cabin had four bedrooms so we each took a room to ourselves. Addie woke up at 4:30 am on Saturday ready to play and watch "Care Bears".
We also attempted to take family pictures. On the way to find a place we saw some deer and then a lot of pheasants running across the road. When Addie saw the pheasants she called them "little pigs", hmmm, maybe we need to review animals with her. We had a dinner with all of Andrew's work people Saturday night. All in all it was a fun and relaxing weekend. We didn't want to come home and face reality.

What a fun vacation! It was fun having you guys over last night... it was even more fun ditching the guys with kids to go shopping. Thanks!

How great! Our Addy's could be twins with that brown vest. Addy just got it for her birthday. How funny! Looks like a great cabin.
