Well - I think everyone that knows me pretty much has heard me mention the place I love most - my grandma's cabin. I think my most wonderful memories have come from growing up in that place and continuing to make trips up there every year to relax and enjoy the outdoors. Each experience at the cabin is earmarked as unique but strangely the same - I love the fact that I've been up there thousands of times but each time I create new memories, sometimes with new friends and sometimes with those that I have loved forever! Every time I sincerely treasure and can't wait to go back for another amazing outdoor adventure.
This past weekend was a trip with my family. My parents and my sister and new brother-in-law. It was a great time of family bonding, especially since we were cooped up in the cabin most of the time due to rain on Saturday and snow on Sunday. However, the sun shone bright on Friday and so we spent a lot of time outdoors. Katie and I realized how out of shape we were just bumping the volleyball around outside like we had done when we were in highschool - sometimes from countless hours. Jeremy realized how cold the river was by chasing after the volleyball when Katie had hit a shank ball into the river - it was quite funny! Once Jeremy realized that he wasn't going to be getting close to the ball by standing on the riverbank with a shovel he just jumped in and ran right after it. Luckily the water wasn't at it's normal peak height for this time of year so Jeremy wasn't washed downstream (too far at least!). What a hero!!
It was Rhett's first time up at the cabin and I have to say that he loved it. He was very well behaved, enjoyed being outside (except with the smoke from the campfire was blowing in his face) and seemed to relax along with the rest of us and take things in stride. Addison of course loved it as she always does. She also didn't like the smoke in her face and being the drama queen that she is through a fit whenever it came near her. She also enjoyed the makeshift sledding hill (slide) that Uncle Derek and Daddy made for her.
All in all it was a blast and I can't wait for another weekend away from the hustle and bustle of life and into the quiet, tranquil mountains of Idaho. Wahoooo!!

you really can't beat cabin memories. When I was little my family had a cabin in Donnelly and I really miss that Brinley won't be able to grow up with those special times and memories. Your kids will remember cabin times for years to come. Enjoy!!!
