Best Retreat Ever!

Every year my sisters and I try to get together for a "sister's retreat". We always have so much fun together, but this one seemed especially fun. We were able to stay at a cabin (owned by Janice's boss) up in the Beaver mountains. This cabin was awesome! You can see it in the background of this photo.


Since there was still lots of snow on the ground, and since Janice recently got interested in cross-country skiing, we decided to give it a shot. The high altitude really gave me some problems, but it was still a lot of fun...and a good cardio workout. [Gayle has knee problems so she was unable to join us, but she was willing to be our photographer.]

One really fun thing we did was wake up Friday morning, eat breakfast, and then bust out our sewing machines to sew some lap quilts. We just stayed in our pajamas, didn't shower, put make-up on, or do our hair. It was a crazy, laid-back, relaxing, morning. Janice cut all of the quilt blocks for us. Thanks, Janice! I think our quilt tops turned out cute. What do you think?

Here is Jane, Janice, and Gayle sewing their quilt tops. This photo gives you a view of the inside of the cabin also.

I don't have a picture of it, but both evenings we spent some time in the hot tub, which I had never done in cold winter weather before. It was awesome to relax, look at the stars, enjoy good conversation, and enjoy the beauties of nature.

Now, we just need to figure out what we can do for our retreat next year that can beat this one. Any suggestions?
