On Memorial Day we headed up to the cabin for a week of vacation. When we arrived my Mom's side of the family was all still there and we shared lunch and a walk with them. Before dinner everyone but Nan and Pop headed home. They stayed with us for another day. We so much enjoyed getting to spend all that extra time with them! They left Tuesday afternoon and left us in the rain. It rained on and off for a couple of days. That didn't dampen our experience, though. We made and played play dough, painted with watercolor, drew with stencils, read books, played toys, watched a movie or two and played games. We made several meals over the fire and had smores every night.
One night our camp fire was rained out and even that did not deter us from smore making. We fired up the electric stove and went to town. Lane and Ava thought that was cool! Thursday we had a big photo shoot and went down to the creek and made a dam. Friday we headed to R.B. Winter State Park for a few hours. Jeremy and I sat on the beach in our jackets, while Lane and Ava insisted on splashing in the water, playing in the sand and on the playground in their bathing suits... crazy kids! It was SO chilly! Saturday we did some more creek stomping, built another dam and had wagon rides down the gravel road. Jeremy and I played games pretty much every time the kids were sleeping and enjoyed some evening conversations by the fire. The week was delightful, relaxing, refreshing, and filled with sweet family memories! We look forward to it again next year, Lord willing!
