Spring Break at the cabin


Wow! We had a great time at the cabin for Spring break! There are a lot of pictures so get comfy--you're gonna be here a while! My friend Camden and her kids came with us. SO much more fun with friends! It really feels like you are "getting away" there. There is no internet and I get no cell coverage there. There is a satellite and great set up for watching lots of movies (with popcorn of course, which we did in the evenings). My parents have outfitted the cabin with lots of bunk beds so everyone had a place to sleep. The weather cooperated and the kids did great and got along so well! The main attraction for the kids is swimming in the lake, which was too cold for swimming right now, playing in the sand, playing outside, building campfires, getting dirty, and just being a kid! I say yes to a lot of things at the cabin that I would never say yes to at home! I have to give a big thanks to Camden and her kids for helping to make our trip so much fun!




Tanner and Samantha clearing a space for our campfire. They really enjoyed using the pitch fork, rake and shovel!


Samantha enjoying the s'more she made!


The Mamas! We enjoyed some hotdogs and s'mores too!


The kids had fun playing in the sand.


Sitting in the sun trying to warm up on the boat ramp.


My cutie pie Miss Natalie! Sooooo adventurous that one!


We were having an easter egg hunt, but the kids were distracted by a brand new moth on the tree.


Down by the lake.


The lake was very rough on this day and waves were crashing against the wall. The kids thought it would be so fun to see if they could get splashed.


Here it comes......


And they were soaked just like they wanted! Of course everyone was freezing 2 seconds after, so what do we do?? Go put on some dry clothes then go back to do it again!


Me and my girls.

Enjoying the tree swing.

"Wow" it looks like a total blast! I'd love to have a family cabin...nothing kids like more than getting dirty, finding bugs, and eating s'mores. I agree, it's so fun to vacation with friends...everyone is entertained, kids with their buddies and the adults. I love all of the pic's you posted, but, I especially love the ones with the kids waiting to be splashed...classic!
