The Perfect Winter Weekend

I cannot even begin to describe how wonderful my long weekend was.  For the second time in two and a half months, I traveled to Camp Calumet in New Hampshire with Mike's family.  You might remember that I went with Mike's immediate family to bring his mother's ashes to their memorial chapel, and this time, we returned back, as an extended family, to simply spend time together, without the distraction of the 21st century, in this beautiful place.  We got there just after lunch time on Friday afternoon and came back last night.  There were a total of 17 family members, and we all stayed in the camp's Winter Lodge together playing cards and games, telling family stories, playing frisbee golf, and, of course, climbing Jackman's Ridge and just playing in the snow.

most importantly, we beat everyone else to the toboggan hill

 future cousin fun!

Sunday:

morning church service

relaxing and reading

And last but not least, all weekend wouldn't be a family vacation without games... tons and tons of games!

Cribbage /// Cranium

I hope you all had a great weekend!!! 

What's your favorite thing to do with family?  Are you game people like us?!

Are you lucky like me and don't have to work until Thursday? [Sorry, Mike!]

Linking up for Funday Monday and This Weekend I...!
