Labor Day Weekend At Duck Creek

We spent Labor Day Weekend at the cabin with Grandma & Papa. We left Friday a little later than planned but early enough to enjoy a quick visit with MamaThom and PapaThom on the way up the road and a little time with Grandma & Papa before bed.



Saturday morning, Grandma & Papa had a wedding to attend so we took the 4-wheelers out for a long ride. We rode around the area (my first time driving), stopped for a hike to a waterfall, then rode into town for lunch. It was a nice morning for all of us...great to breath in the fresh, cool mountain air.

After a late lunch we met Grandma & Papa for what I think was the highlight of the day for the kids, fishing. All the kids caught at least one fish each...Abbie three. Kyle cleaned out the fish for us and made friends with the bird, Jake. Jake would walk over to Kyle and crawl on to his arm and around his back and head. He would then start dancing. It was pretty funny...he really, really loved Kyle. There was also a huge pond for fly fishing and Abbie and Daisy got to feed these enormous trout. Lots of fun for sure. Grandma got to kick back in the shade for a few minutes and read her paper.

Some highlights of the rest of the weekend include:

*Smores by the campfire.

*Staying up late playing Sequence.

*Cabin church (always nice to go and always a good laugh).

*Coloring in Grandma's Ballet West coloring book.

*Feeding and petting the horses.

*Playing with MamaThom and PapaThom Monday afternoon on the way home.

Generally, it was just nice to get away and spend a weekend in the cool weather with Grandma and Papa. Too bad our schedule is full during soccer season and we can't go more often.
