Our Latest Adventure...

This is my brother's Lake House. Gorgeous, isn't it? It has a stunning view of the Lake and is properly equipped with both winter and summer toys. We were snowmobiling along the lake when I spotted his house nestled above. It was the perfect spot to finally get a decent photo of his place.

I also realized that it would make a PERFECT scrapbook retreat, don't ya think??? :)

Unfortunately it's for sale. He and my sil are in the middle of a divorce. He own more property in Cle Elum though so he definitely plans to build again after this one sells.

This is the site where Mark plans on building his next "cabin". The view is just as stunning as his current site. One advantage is that this road isn't as steep, so that means a vehicle will make it up to the house during the winter. Right now he has to park in his lower lot, climb all the way up to the house, then bring down a snowmobile with sleds to cart up supplies and visitors. It's kind of neat when you're the visitor, but it's also a lot of work for him!

We snowmobiled around the lake. We had so much rain this year that our riding space was limited. We usually have miles and miles of open field, but not this year. I usually hate the thought of going out in the cold, but it really is fun. 15 layers of clothes also seem to help. I look like a beached whale, but hey, I'm warm!

We had so much fun...

until this happened! We came back over to Mark's property and drove around on his lower lot. Mike was going very slow but couldn't stop the sled from sliding into a tree. I laughed SO HARD when I realized what he had done

...Until I realized how much damage was done to Mark's snowmobile. Way to ruin a good time, Mike!!!!!

The weirdest part? I think my brother is secretly delighted. He constantly brings up the fact that he now has something on Mike.

It must be a guy thing because I don't get it!
