Asheville

We took a trip to Asheville, NC this weekend to spend some time with my mother-in-law's side of the family.  They rented a cozy cabin in the mountains for everyone to stay in.
 It was difficult to get a great picture of the front of the house because it was on top of a very large hill.  You would have to walk down the steep icy driveway to the road and then walk back up again, and I just wasn't in the mood for all that trekking. 

We spent most of the weekend lounging around the cabin doing nothing really.  It was funny to count the number of various electronic devices that everyone had out in one room.  There were several laptops, iPads, and iPhones to play with.  Angie joked that the next house we rented would not have Wi-Fi.  We did play several rounds of Mad-Gab on Sunday night...good times were had by all playing that game!

Kristin and I played a lot of Mario Kart with JT.  Kristin can kick some butt at Mario Kart.

Ringo and Lorelai traveled with us on our weekend getaway.  They are ususally stuck at home with a dog-sitter when we go out of town, but this time we brought them along.  They were very well behaved the entire weekend and were even great car riders since they are not used to being in the car for such long periods of time.  Lorelai loved the snow and showed us that she is also a mountain climbing dog!

Here are a few pics of the family from the weekend...
All the "grandkids" with the exception of Levi and Lily who couldn't make it this weekend

I think the dogs were worn out!
