Last trip up to Stormy for the winter

We made one last trip up to Stormy Lake in April, but we weren't expecting it to still be winter! We didn't even bring any of our winter gear with us, which was just poor thinking on my part. But I really didn't think there would be snow....of course, they got several inches on our way up and then a few more while we were there!
There's nothing like being in the middle of nature, though, and enjoying its beauty. Check out what we saw looking towards the lake from inside the family room....
..if you missed it in the first picture, you'll probably see it in this one...
It was a great family weekend and we are getting closer to being done with all our projects and ready for everyone to enjoy it this summer! 
On Saturday, Blake ended up taking a really long nap and just wasn't very tired when the kids were going to bed. He came downstairs after Wyatt and Sadie had fallen asleep and rather than send him back to bed, Matt enjoyed a few clementines with him and had some great discussions. I can't remember what they were talking about, but I loved the expressions on Blake's face. It was such a precious time between the two of them.
This one was a bit blurry but I had to post it because Blake makes this face whenever we tell him something that he doesn't agree with or that he doesn't already know.

And the next morning, as we were packing up to come home, we had a few more visitors. The excitement never gets old!
