One of my family's favorite things to do is go up to the cabin. Michael hasn't been there in two years. And the others haven't seen it finished. The cabin really looks great. Dad, Mom, and Garner and LeeAnn put a lot of hard work into it. It is a sight to see.
We headed up before everyone else and had a crazy detour through Millcreek. I wanted a diet coke and it took me about a half an hour to find one. All the roads were closed and then when I finally made it to McDonalds they were closed for renovations. UGH!! THe kids had had enough of being in the car also. Poor Emma was so car sick. After that we headed to Dan's and got junk food because what is the cabin if you don't have junk food. Mama and Papa were bringing sandwiches.
Once they all arrived the party began. We first ate the yummy Spanky's sandwiches and then we headed up to the patio for some nice mountain air. We were all sitting around so I decided that people needed to show us what they are made of and do some planking. I ran into the cabin to get the camera and come back out and they have all done it already. What the... So being the bossy older sister I made them do it again. The kids really got into it.
Maren was the first to do it and she did great. But planking requires you being on your toes.
JJ took some pictures for me and there was this beauty. Just what are they all talking about???
Some more of JJ's pics. I especially love the one of me. Why do I always look so ornery in pictures.
Michael looked pretty good. But lets face it he isn't doing it right at first. But once he got it he did great.
Ms. Preggers even gave it a shot. She rocked it, especially considering her center of gravity is off.
Excellent for Smitty
Maren was not about to be shown up by her brothers so she did it, and she did awesome.
Even Ellie had to try again.
After the good form they all decided to go for excellent form. This is extremely hard to do. They all attempted but could not do it. Forehead and tip toes. You try it. It is harder than it looks.
Uncle SMitty is quite the fun uncle. My kids just love him. Lucy was spinning around and having a great time. That chld is fearless.
Elsie watched and something in her clicked and she decided she wanted a go. Now, if you know Elsie you know that she white knuckles it in the car when we go on hills. She is terrified of heights. She screams bloody murder when we throw her in the air. So for her to ask Uncle Smitty to do this is actually a miracle. And guess what she LOVED it. I was in utter shock and amazement. I had to get pics for Jeron to see. Just so he would believe me. look at her go.
It was a very nice day up there. The temperature in the mountains is so much better than in the valley. I haven't been outside in a long time so it was nice to breath the fresh air and enjoy the family.

I can't wait to go back.
