Mt Rainier with Cousins

Our Aunt Janet invited us for a weekend trip of sledding at Mt Rainier. It was a much needed get-away for us. Peter and I enjoyed our time talking and catching up with all the adults, while the boys spent time bonding with their cousins. One of our favorite aspects of this trip is the lack of cell service where we stayed, "forcing" us to be off our phones and visit with one another. The place we stayed at was actually the same place as when Peter and I planned the Nielsen Family Reunion a few years back, but we stayed at the game house this time. It was a good call on Aunt Janet's part, as this house had a pool table, which was a big hit with both the kids and adults. 

Here's how we spent the weekend with family:

We caught up with one another, played board games, lots of rounds of pool, and gorged on scrumptious food.
We took turns holding Aurora (Mike & Sharon's newest little one). She was soooo cute!
Peter gave Gavin a special birthday gift. He printed off a dragon skull and glued red led lights in the eye sockets. Honestly, it was more entertaining watching Michael's excitement for this gift lol.
We went sledding down the hill on the property.
Saturday afternoon we made a trip up to Rainier for some more sledding and to play in the snow
Sadly, Sunday came all too quick and it was time to pack up and head for home. On the bright side, Clifford waited until right before we were leaving to hurt himself sledding.
