Close call!

When Garett came home this time it was only for a few short 3 days!!!!!!! So I took off work and we decided to go up to the cabin! Once we got up there we decided we would invite Brandon and Michelle and their kids because they've always wanted to come up there and ice fish!

Well they had told us when they were leaving because we wanted to make sure the gate code was going to work! Well it was 15 mins past when we thought they should be there so we got in our truck and started heading down to see if they were just waiting at the gate. BIG MISTAKE! The road going down was nothing but ice and right was we turned the first corner there was Brandon with his big trailer on the back!!!!!!!!! So our truck wont stop and we keep going down hill towards them and Brandon is sliding down quick so haha in a panic I yelled to Garett "I'm going to pray....dear heavenly father please help us not hit brandon and please help them not go off the side...." Garett yells at me "lis that's not going to happen" so I yelled "I'm not talking to you Garett IM TALKIN TO GOD HERE!!!" hahaha we were both stressed and panicked! Well Brandon did the smart thing and slammed hit foot on the gas and made his trailor go into the side of the mountain..which still wasn't good but was better than going off into the lake. Well 2 hours later they were able to turn the whole trailer around facing down the road drive the trucks past it, hook the truck back up to the trailer and we both drove down to the bottom and then started over and came back up!!! Man I wish I would've taken a picture of the whole 'incident'.

We were SO blessed that nothing happened to ANYONE or any of the vehicles!
But we had so much fun while up there, we went sledding and played a lot of games!!!
