A day of almost snowmobiling.....


This story is actually quite funny.  We started our Saturday off by driving up to Timberlakes to the family cabin, we were going to have a beautiful day of snow and sun.  Well when we attempted to get up this final hill to the cabin, several things began to happen.  I have listed them in order of occurance.
1. the truck stopped. 
2.  the wheels started spinning. 
 3. we began to roll backwards down the hill, there is a cliff on the other side.
4. andrew "attempts" to brake.
5. andrew saves the day by crashing the trailer into a snowbank to stop us from sliding.  What a champ!
Here is a list of things going through my mind, while we were sliding to our death.
1.truck.....not ours
2.trailer.....not ours
3.snowmobiles.....not ours
I'm not really sure what Courtney is doing.  I suppose she is "digging" the trailer out of the snow........what a helper.
No people or machinery were hurt in the making of this blog.
