Cabin

The weather wasn't very cooperative while we were at the cabin...it was cold most of the time, but we still managed to have fun. The first day we spend picking berries and came back with a ton - and lots of war wounds to prove it. The second day Lance and Ruth were there and we decided to brave the clouds and go kayaking anyway...the girls insisted on wearing their swim suits even though it was cold. Ruth the girls and I manned the two person and had lots of fun, Von took the one person and towed Christie behind on the tube. We had a blast!!! Cory and Lance stayed behind and went scuba diving and caught lots a craw dads that we cooked up for dinner. (no pictures of the scuba divers :( !!)Addy showing off her dinner!!The last day we spent there the sun finally decided to come out...after lots of prayers for just one nice day. Lance, Ruth, Cory and I decided to go kayaking down the river and we had lots of fun...except for the first rapid where we went side ways and ended up in the FREEZING water. Thanks Von and Karen for watching our kids.

Uncle Lance took the girls swimming down the rapids and they thought that was super fun!Garrett and Ruth hanging out on the beach. Somehow Ruth always ended up being the "Life Guard" on duty. Thanks for your willingness to help watch kids.
Trying to get warm, even though it was sunny it wasn't super warm and so after being in the water the girls would get really cold.
We love our time at the cabin and are so lucky to have such a great place to go and enjoy being together. It was so great that Lance and Ruth got to come out at the same time as us, and also that the Marchant's were able to come up for a couple of days too. It was a bit crazy at times with so many people but we sure had fun.
