We had a second weekend in a row away from home but this time we took the kids with us!!! Actually, my whole family met up at the cabin!!! The kids were off of school Wednesday afternoon and not back in the classes until Monday. This happens every fall, so we all decide to go to my parents cabin in the woods!
We left Thursday afternoon. Hadassah had to stay behind because she has another volleyball game that night. Her and Jess will meet up with us later this weekend.
It was cold at the cabin and even snowed a little one morning. The guys went out hunting morning and evening. Dad hit a nice buck but they had to go track it. Mike took Austin along out to follow the blood trail! He loved it!!!
They never caught up to the buck, meaning it kept going and it was a bad shot.
Colson and Austin love to play together!!! These two love the tee pee!!!
My camera only captured these boys this weekend but we also played games and had fun together!!!
Our snack drawer is ridiculous!!!
Our breakfasts will never change!!!
Hadassah had another volleyball game on Friday night and so her and Jess didn't head up till late. One their way to the cabin, they pulled over to switch drivers. Just like that a police man came along and pulled over. He asked if they needed any help and pulled up Hadassah's info. He said that her license plate needs to be changed. (Mike forgot to switch it when we bought the car.) They said goodbye and off they went again. This time Jess was driving and it she felt a flat tire. What??? Oh no!!! Here were two young girls on the way to the cabin late at night and now a flat tire??? She pulled over again and got out to fix it!!! Thank God she had just taken a class at school on how to fix flat tires!!! I'm not even kidding you!!!! But, by now it started to rain! Hadassah was on the side of the highway shining her phone flashlight on Jess while she changed their flat!!! Unbelievable!!! Truckers were flying past them in the rain!
Meanwhile, we all went to bed at the cabin. I figured the girls would get there around midnight. At 1:30 AM, I jumped out of bed!!! Where the girls here? I looked in their bedroom and no girls!!! I panicked and woke up Mike! He called Hadassah right away and she said they had a flat but should be there in 20 minutes!!! They were following the GPS and I was all in a panic because the mountain roads were now wet and it was almost 2:00 AM!!!
I was SO HAPPY to see them pull into the driveway!!! I hugged them and thanked God for protecting them!!! We were all so tired and off to bed we went!!!
The next day we chuckled but gave the girls all a high five for making it to the cabin safe and sound!!!
We were all back home by Sunday late afternoon! The weekend in the woods was wonderful!!!
Now, it's back to house chores and laundry!!! I'm excited to go to Bible Study again and get into the word!!! With two weekends away and off routine, I feel like I could use a fresh dose of the Holy Spirit to empower me!!!!
And now this is the pile of Austin's toys! :)
And God showed me His beauty and majesty again last night!!! Look at this sky!!!!!
Thank You God!!!
