My trip to Denver 3 weeks ago was a blast! I got to go shopping and spend time with my grandma and play with my little cousin Reese who has grown soo much since I saw her last! I also got to spend time with my Aunt and Uncle but not much because they went for a trip for their anniversity (acually thats the whole reason we went up there, to babysit Reese). Reese was great exept for her naptime and bedtime, I think thats when she really noticed that her mom and dad weren't there. The last full day we babysat her she kinda just lost it, actually looking back it was pretty funny but it really wasn't. She would point and something and just say "No", its her new favorite word!! I'd try to read her a book, she'd say "No". I'd try to feed her yogert (her favorite food) she'd say... I think you can guess. Then as the day progressed her would start to walk up to random things like a chare and just say "No", and then she would touch the rug and she would say "No". But really all in all I had an amazing time there.
For the past week its been a cicle of Snow, Freeze, Rain, Snow..... The bad thing about it is its extreamly cold, when it gets above 32 digress it feels like a heatwave! Then again it great packing snow! Me and Saylor built a couple snowmen and we took the inertoob and slide down the lodge stares and it was epic!!!

Since we have been getting low on our wood supply yesterday we went logging and we got a really nice log that was just inside our bay. My dad showed my mom how to drive the AJ (a pretty big boat) and so we set off to the log with one of our skiffs tied up behind us. First we went and got a burl which is round ball of wood and when you cut it open there is a bunch of swirls and ours is big enough to make a coffee table! So after we got that we put some buoys on it and let it go so we would have room to tow the log. When we got the log me and dad took the skiff to the log and mom and saylor stayed on the AJ. Dad sawed off the bottom of the log off while standing on it, and I told him he was crazy becuase after the bottom of the log was sawed off he would fall in water!! But he didn't (bummer I was actually looking forward to seeing him swimming back to the boat soaking head to toe) lol!! So then my dad tells me to get in the skiff by myself and ride out and then drive the the burl back to him after he yanked the log off the beach. So this would be no problem except for the fact that I haven't driven a skiff for like 3 years. So I drive a little ways out and watch dad pull the log off the beach and all the while I'm shaking uncontrolably because I'm so nervous that I'm going to mess up and sink or get stuck or something. Then plans change, my dad just gets the burl because it drifted right next to him. So then when dad tied everything up he signalled over to me to come over and tie up to the AJ so as I'm heading over there he's also moving toward the dock so it was really difficult to catch up. So I gave it the gas and thats when I found out how touchy the motor was! I slammed into the back of the AJ! At least I caught up. Dad got the rope and tied me up and then everything was ok. Through all of this I was the most nervous it felt like in all my life. Now dad keeps joking that he's puting that into the book of all the time I've tried to kill him!
