Lake of the Woods

This year, as part of our Christmas present, my parents arranged to take us up to Uncle Tom's cabin at Lake of the Woods!! It was so much fun. When we got there, about 4 feet of snow lined the white streets. Luckily my dad had rented snow shoes, and after the guys hiked in to start a fire (the power was down), all of the girls followed. It was kinda funny, becuase one of my sisters had to use the bathroom, and she tried to flush it but was unsuccessful. My dad went in a while later to "fix the problem" and found that it was so cold, her pee had frozen in the toilet bowl. haha, we thought that was hilarious. We cooked a premade vegetarian lasagna on the wood stove, and it was delicious. Around 2:00 in the morning the power came on, and started every one of us, as almost every light in the house flickered on. The next day, we hung out and also went cross country skiing. It was so nice to get away, and I definetely hope this becomes a yearly tradition.
