Cabin memories ...

We had a fun weekend with Dave and Suz at their cabin again!!!  We started the trip with leaving Hadassah back home again because she had volleyball tryouts to attend on Saturday.  One of these times we will get to ALL go to the cabin!  She did great with her tryouts though and got accepted on the U18 team!!!  Good job girl!  Now we will have many, many more volleyball games to go to this winter!!!  But we also took a friend along to the cabin for Matthew.  And do you think I got even one picture of Matthew and Chandler together at the mountains?  No.  I get so annoyed at myself with cabin photos.  So often I forget to take a few or at least one of friends together and of our cabin moments.  Anyway, Chandler got to go along and the boys had a blast all weekend together!
 
After a quick stop at Chick-fil-a, we were on the highway heading north for the cabin.  Traveling with Austin still has it's challenges and I purposely didn't give him a nap thinking that he will sack it out the whole way there.  Wrong.  He napped for only an hour and chatted and whined the rest of the way there.  I was ready to get there and let him run around!  Two year old issues!!!
 
Dave's do so good at inviting people along to their cabin.  Jonathon's and P.J.'s were there too.  The hunters went out the woods and tree stands while the rest of us prepared the meals and relaxed in the cabin.  Games of Acquire were played by the men. 
 
Mike's not a big hunter at all anymore.  He would much rather golf than hunt!  But he did suit up once and went looking for deer.  He was bored and didn't see a thing!  Sigh.  Then the next time, Austin wanted to hunt.  So they suited up again and sat in a tree stand for about an hour.  It was so cold outside and I was sure Austin would be sick of it but instead he loved it!!!  He came inside cold to the bone and said, "Daddy didn't see any deer."  Bummer but so cute!!!


This cozy cabin hosted us all weekend and the kids played games and the ladies drank coffee and fussed about life and kids and photography!!!  :)))


Austin was right there when it came time to look at the bow and arrows!!!  He's gonna like the woods some day!!!

We stayed till Sunday!  The sunny cabin getaway was a wonderful time!  Thanks Dave and Suz for the invite!!!
 
We unpacked and then Mike was off to make a quick stop to see his mom before heading to the youth event to pick up Hadassah!  Life is full of pick ups and drop offs and it's busy but we are all healthy and thriving and it's the good life!!!  We are living in the best of times and for that I don't ever want to forget!!!
