Cabin 2011

We just returned from a week of family vacation bliss.  We didn't go last year, so we hadn't been there since our time in 2009.  (We were also there in 2008.)  Somehow we always end up going in the fall!  Even though most of the leaves were off the trees and it was cold, we had a fantastic time!  We cooked yummy meals, slept in (the girls both slept in until 7:30 or 7:45 each morning and, yes, that is what sleeping in looks like in my life these days!), watched movies, relaxed, and just enjoyed being together.

The cabin

The amazing newly refinished barn!  What used to be a garage/barn has been turned into an amazing loft!

Ready to rock!

Lovin the outdoors

Lots of this happened throughout the week.

With our membership to the Iowa Childrens Museum, we were able to get into the Northwoods Children's Museum free... sweet!

Back at the cabin... a little art time!

Family photo!

Claire loved swinging on the swing!

Love this pic

...and this one too!

Family movie night!  (or afternoon rather...  since our kiddos go to bed early, we figured why not get in jammies, pop popcorn, and watch a movie in the afternoon! :)

Yummy popcorn!

Justin took Claire on a canoe ride.  She loved it!  So fun watching your kids experience things for the first time!

What a great week!
