Another Weekend of Fun

A couple of weekends ago I loaded up the kids and headed to the cabin to meet Grandma Rosie and Colty there. We had a great time and the kids absolutely love going there. We did some painting and we did some rock gathering until Colton spied a GIANT water snake. I am not sure I will walk around the cabin in flip flops anytime soon. Of course, he ran it down and picked it up to show the kids. Ella loved it much to my dismay and both of them thought it was really cool to touch. We had a long discussion afterward about how we don't try to catch snakes (bad example Colton) and if we see one to run the other way! After our busy day we gave Ella her usual bath in the sink but this time Jack was not going to be left out. He insisted they would both fit so they both wiggled into the sink for their nightly bath! Sunday afternoon out of the blue Ella demanded she put her swim diaper, swim "soup" and floaties on. She was insistent so we just let her do it. It wasn't five minutes after she got her outfit on that we experienced the worst rain/thunder storm that I have ever seen. The clouds just opened up and poured on us! She was so funny out there running around the porch in her swim suit and floaties the middle of this huge rain storm. Apparently she knew something that we didnt!

The boys loved playing out front in the sand pile that Boppy has made. I am pretty sure his intentions weren't for the kids to enjoy a day at the "beach" but they spent a good hour out there burying each other and playing in that sand. Colton is usually so good to Jack and will play, explore and entertain the little twerp most of the time that we are there!

Overall it was a great weekend as usual and we are loving having the cabin to go to for a mini-vacation! I hope my kids grow up with tons of memories there and that it will be something they will want to continue doing with their own kids!
