Most people now days when they say I have a cabin, you can pretty much plan on a "Cabin" bigger than my house with all the latest electronics, games, and fun. When I talk about my Cabin, I mean just that... it is a cabin. I often tell people it is just a step up from a tent. I LOVE my cabin. It has been in my family since before I was born. It is one of my favorite places in the world.

So while Jeron was gone on a golf get away with his family, I took the kids up to our cabin for a little retreat of our own. We left a little late Thursday evening. We got up to the cabin around 8pm. Knowing it was just me and the kids I decided we would not roast marshmallows. JJ was pretty bummed about this. I think he wanted to play with the fire more than anything. That night we played games and stayed up way too late. Emma thought she saw a man at the door and freaked herself out. Then JJ said he saw him as well. Jeron was not with me so I told them that no one was there and to quit freaking me out. Holy cow was I freaked out.




The next day we went walking around the cabin enjoying the beauty of it all. We played in the creek. I was surprised that Elsie loved it. She sat right in it and splashed away. Ellie watched everything that JJ and Emma did and tried to imitate them. I then took Elsie and got her all dolled up and did a mini photo shoot of her. The lighting was off but she looked so stinken cute. We went back cleaned up and headed home. It is always a lot of fun at the cabin. There is no TV, phones, or anything. You just relax and enjoy each others company.

I must admit that it was a hard trip with no other adult present. It was nice but I was pretty glad to be packing up to head home. I just don't have enough arms for it all anymore.
