We were able to go to Freddy and Beverly's cabin over the whole fall break - My mom and dad came up the first three days and had a hard time leaving! There is just something that happens when you go there - slower pace, no computer or electronics, so the kids have to go outside and use their imagination!
We were able to see it snow!
Lexi and Jadie trying to catch snowflakes
Morning after the snow - everything was frozen with ice. I was able to take a short walk by myself while mom and dad watched the kids and just enjoy it.
The leaves were just starting to turn and made a great back drop for a picture of Grandma and Papa - By the time we left all the leaves were yellow
The kids helped rake leaves - with helmets on for extra protection. Radens friend Camron was able to come with us and Raden was glad to have a boy his age to ride bikes with and hang out with.
Grandma helped the girls make leaf art to hang up
And the girls gathered flowers, acorns and pine cones to decorate with
Of course it isn't a family trip unless gets hurt - Jadie got stung by a bee on the forehead. She was a trooper! Although she sometimes still says she cant do something because her head still hurts where the bee stung her.
One of my favorite things to do at the cabin - swing on the porch swing! Grandma and Papa with Jadie and Koston.
And it isnt ALL fun and games - Jareds mom and Dad came up and Gina and Kameron and the boys had to re-coat the cabin for winter. Luckily no one fell off the roof - or chimney- and died. Its all good!
We are so grateful that we have to opportunity to be able to go to the cabin and get away from all the craziness for a little while! I am already trying to find a time when we can go back!
