All the Jenkins went to Mark's new cabin between Christmas and New Years. It is definitely not finished and not ready to be staying at, but we went anyway. There was no furniture, except a folding table in the main room. No appliances, only half the bathrooms worked, but there was a couch downstairs, a game table, and mattresses arrived the morning Meredith's family got there. We didn't get up there until Thursday afternoon. I was a little skeptical of going so soon, but it turned out to be really fun. Matt was super sick and didn't get to hang out outside sledding or snowmobiling. Claire ended up not feeling great, but still could do most of the fun stuff. Mark had two new snowmobiles for the cabin that everyone got to try out. It is crazy how little snow there is this year compared to last. Van wanted to dig a hole and we barely dug at all before we hit the ground. I couldn't even bury him. We spent hours outside sledding down the hill. We went out to dinner both nights we were there because we couldn't cook anything. The older kids spent hours playing games and just hanging out. It made me so excited for when the cabin in actually finished. It will be so much fun! On Friday we went to a pool and hotpots in the afternoon. Van fell asleep in the car so Matt and the other kids went in and started swimming. By the time I got in (and when I saw the pool) I didn't care much to get in so I just watched. The kids had fun, but it was a little nasty.
