Quick Get-away

Thomas has been wanting to go to the cabin sooo bad, so I found a time when I didn't have piano lessons during the week and made the trip up the mountain with the kids (luckily, I didn't have any problems with getting lost this time :) )

This was the main reason why Thomas wanted to go....and Keira actually did very well at being patient and holding still and was able to feed a few chipmunks.

And Thomas got them to crawl right up on him. (I think we made need to buy our own peanuts next time. Thomas will go through a whole bag if we let him)

The cabin across the road had a little zip-line that was great for the kids, as long as we stopped them before they hit a tree. They sure gave me a work out running with Keira, running back and for to stop Thomas, and to put them both on the handles while GP held it low enough:)

I even tried it but I hung a bit to low for it to be very fun

One of my favorite things about being up there when EVERYONE is not (not that I don't love you guys) is seeing the deer come right up to the cabin to have a snack.

Here's Keira with the deer but I couldn't focus on both

Of course, we visited the creek, which was VERY full, and let the kids throw rocks in.

And one night we roasted marshmallows, which Keira didn't care for so she just ate the mallows plain, and Thomas very lightly toasted to where it was a little "yellow" as he says. Oh well, GP, GM, and I loved it!

We love the cabin and can't wait to see you all there for the reunion! Thanks GM, GP, and Kevin for letting us disrupt your peaceful stay. It was great seeing you!
