Week at the Cabin

   A few days after we got home from Texas, we headed up to the cabin for our annual week long trip.  We look forward to this trip every year because it is such a laid back and relaxing vacation.  We pretty much just go with the flow and see what fun and new things we can discover.  We also love getting to spend a full week at the cabin.
   This year was incredible!  We had so much fun each and every day.  The kids loved getting to spend so much time with their cousins.  We ate at new restaurants, played in the river, went to parks, and even made our yearly trip to the toy store.
   As usual, our week went by way too quick.  I always say our trips to the cabin are never long enough.  I think next summer we may have to do two weeks.  We just have such a nice time.  Here are the pictures from our week.  We did also go to the hot springs and had such a fun time on the waterslide there.  I didn't get any pictures because I did not want to bring the camera in and risk it getting wet.

The kids loved playing in the sand

What a beautiful sight

Ashlyn is growing up way too fast.  

Wading in the river.  When the kids get older, we want to tube down it.  

We ate lunch at a really good restaurant that was right on the river's edge.  


One of our ice cream stops.  Totally hit the spot!

Time to pick out a toy

So many choices!

There are so many great spots of pictures


This is the stream/river right by the cabin.  The kids love playing in the sand and water.  It's like one gigantic sand and water table for them.  












It did rain some, so luckily we had some indoor activities lined up

We played this jelly bean game where you have to pick a jelly bean and it can either be a normal flavor, or a really gross flavor

I must have gotten a bad one

Uncle Bryan got skunk spray

Ella loved this game
