Scout Juice!!!
The result of "scout juice"!
He wore this practically the whole time! "Mom, where my helmet? Put it on. "

We had our first sleepover at the new cabin! We snowmobiled up Thursday night and boy was it cold up there. Jaxon rode with Mari up on the snowmobile and did pretty good considering, even when they crashed on the side of the cliff. Mari said she wanted to cry she was so scared but had to say Yeah, this is fun for Jaxon's sake. Thankfully we borrowed Jadyn's helmet and it fit great, a little top heavy, but great! We got the cabin heated up nicely considering the amount of space we had to heat and luckily our room heats up the fastest. It was a bit tricky sleeping with both the boys in our queen bed, I felt like a stick figure, I just tried not to move so I didn't get kicked. It warmed up quite nicely with the fire and heater going. On Friday we made pancakes and then us girls went on a little cross-country skiing adventure, I even got both Mari and Bev to go down into the pond and they did great! The guys cut woood, picked up Jeff, snowblowed all the snow off of the decks. Jaxon and Connor had fun going down the slide and watching movies and just playing. Jaxon and I were the first to try out sledding off of the roof, he did so good! Jeff and I were able to go snowmobiling together and skiing, it so nice to have such great family to help us and have fun with. One of the funniest things was the "scout juice". Grandpa was in charge of the fire and used lighter fluid to get it going, Jaxon thought this was the coolest thing he had ever seen, and so Grandpa came up with the name and Jaxon wanted more and more scout juice anytime anyone stoked the fire. It was seriously a blast, it makes me want to stay up there all week. Here are some pics of our adventure.

What fun! And "scout juice"! Love it! Jon used to use scout juice to get the BBQ going (to the point of our burgers tasting like scout juice) He's not aloud anymore!
