Dr. James Cabin - Island Park

Blake works with Dr. Michael James, a podiatrist in Idaho Falls.  He is a very good friend also.  He has been talking to Blake for a long time about inviting us to his cabin. We finally found a time that would work for all of us.  So on Friday, Feb. 7th, Blake, Randy, Courtney, Jared, Nikelle and I loaded up and headed for Island Park.  As it turned out, Dr. James was the only member of his family that could make it.  He was the perfect host, and we appreciate him letting us invade his beautiful cabin.  

We got there about 8 pm. He had it all lit up and ready for us. This is the view from upstairs looking down into the living room. It has seven bedrooms and 4 bathrooms. It is just beautiful.

These are the same windows with the blinds opened up on Saturday morning.  These windows over look the lake.

Beautiful site!

This is the wonderful kitchen. The top left picture was taken on Friday night just after our arrival.  Dr. James made us a delicious breakfast on Saturday morning, then he and Blake did the dishes.

Top left: the living room, top right: the entry way, bottom left: the landing at the top of the stairs, bottom right: the bathroom sink and tap.  I loved all the details and furnishings, it was all very amazing.

This is the outside of the cabin, facing the road.  I couldn't go to the lakeside and take a picture there.

After breakfast, the boys went and unloaded the snow machines and we were ready for some fun. It had snowed quite a bit during the night and during the week before we came.

Dr. James took us to an area that he goes all the time. There was so much powdery snow and no one had been on it yet. He said it is always packed down, but not this time. This is just one of the three times that Blake and I tipped over and got stuck! 

Courtney is trying to come and see if Blake and I are ok. Then me and Nikelle and Courtney are just resting in the snow while the boys dig the machine out.

Blake and I were not the only ones to get stuck, the powder was incredible. We rode around for awhile, then decided to go back to the cabin for some lunch. We were all pretty tired by then. The guys decided to go back out after lunch, but the girls stayed inside and basked in the wonder cabin.

Look at all that powder!

Looks like Dr. James is stuck again!

Thank you Dr. James for a very nice trip!
