The Cabin!

 My mom and my aunt bought a cabin up north so we now have a place that we can escape that heat anytime! It does need a lot of fixing up though so while we are there enjoying it we also are working hard! The second trip we made there, we went up with Tony and Holly (and their boys) so Scott and Tony could fix the ceiling of the deck. It was a major improvement, its amazing what a difference it made! They worked very hard!

Before and After

The cabin is unfurnished and it will take awhile to get everything that's needed. So at this point it has been kind of like camping in style! The first time there we all slept on air mattresses and sleeping bags.

We also use camping chairs as furniture. :)

Eating watermelon on the deck.

There is a neighbor boy who came over and introduced himself. All 6 of our kids and him instantly became friends and he hung out all day with us! They are watching a 3D movie here on our tiny portable dvd player, and he was so excited! He said it was just like being at the imax... ha!

When the boys were finally done working we finally got a chance to relax! We went to one of the nearby lakes for a picnic lunch.

Then played in the lake.

Afterwards we stopped and got ice cream cones

There will be many many more trips to the cabin in our near future, yay!!
