Week at the Cabin

 We spent a week at my parents' cabin with my parents and brother and sister-in-law (who has a great blog that focuses primarily on how to eat gluten-free - with tasty recipes) and their two kids.

I'm realizing, as I put this post together, that I only had my own camera out for one day!  All the other pictures from the week are on my dad's and sister-in-law's cameras.  So, here is one day (very similar to other days) from our time up north.

We did a lot of sitting around by the lake, reading magazines, making fires, swimming, jet skiing, and generally enjoying each other and the quiet days of being up north (well, as quiet as it can get with 6 kids running/crawling around :) ).

 Emilia was the queen of catching small fish and crayfish.  I wish I had the picture of the HUGE crayfish we caught.  We've only found crayfish about 2 inches long in Grand Lake.  This one was at least 6 inches long and very fat!

The water is super clear, so it's perfect for finding unique rocks and crayfish.

Here's the backyard of Birchwood Cabin.  We stayed in this cabin for the week.

This is the backyard of Cedarview Cabin.

And here's a picture of both backyards together.

We ate excellently all week long.

The kids thoroughly enjoyed playing with my dad and mom.  Here are Jonny and Matthew with my dad.  In the background you can see my mom and Emilia.

Tommy and me.  :)

Matthew was the Cabin Superhero.

He can fly.  :)

We had a great time!  Thank you Lord for all that you have provided.
