Hebgen- President's Day Weekend

We went to Hebgen Lake, Montana over President's Day Weekend with our friends Julie and Ryan Sauve. Scott's parents have a cabin there and we go there a few times each summer, but I have yet to be there in the winter. We X-country skied in with backpacks full of food and clothing for the weekend. It took us about 2 1/2 hours to get to the cabin, but it was worth it. The scenery was beautiful, the temperature was mild (for MT in the winter) and the company was fabulous. Our little dog Scout was too little for some of the snowbanks so we brought a baby carrier and strapped to our bellys. I think we are a little crazy sometimes!! It made for some hilarious photos, for sure!

Some of the pictures are from an early morning that was misty and enchanting...I realized after adding them that they made the weekend look much more cold than it was!
This picture of the pier was sent to us before we left...I don't think the ice has been to kind to it this year!

Happy Family!

DYING over the photos!! So wish we could've been there with you. We got hit with colds and an ear infection on Saturday morning and our day collapsed. I was thinking about the cabin all day! Glad you had a grand adventure.
