New Years' Fun

To top off our Staycation,
we went to Stay at our other house--
the cabin!

We lived it up down there too.

We went to Springfield for the day
and checked out Bass Pro.

There were lots of things to look at

All sorts of animals
big and friendly

and not so friendly

 We were THRILLED
that our cousins came down to stay with us too!

We showed them Osceola Cheese Factory

And did a lot of 4-wheeling

We even loaded everyone up
and headed down to the end of the road

It was a bit cold...

but we were excited to set off some lanterns

They apparently don't work very well
when it is below freezing,
so we managed to just get one in the air.

It was fun to watch!

Uncle Adam had to show off a bit

And then of course we ALL wanted a turn!

Austin too!

It was a beautiful night

But COLD!

We kept busy over those few days--
we had to replace a few things that froze
in the extreme cold
(a shower valve and a toilet valve).

And other things kept breaking
(a drain line, a fan)...
Mom is starting to think
the cabin is haunted.

We played a lot of games

Did a lot of playing

and a lot of eating!

Tucker found a new best friend

and worked more on smiling

New Years' Eve
was filled with pyramids



 and fireworks!


Cap it off with getting
both 4 wheelers and the Ranger
stuck in the mud
(don't worry Grandpa,
everything is fine),
and I'd say we had a 
whole lotta fun!
2017 is going to be great!
