Memorial Day Weekend

We spent Memorial Day Weekend at the cabin with my family. We arrived Saturday night just in time for dinner then to say "Goodbye" to Aunt Sam and her friend Bert (Abs had her Preschool graduation that morning). Sam had to work Sunday so she left that night. The rest of us, however, made our way down to Duck Creek for the annual welcome dance. The band is so nice and the singer always remembers our kids and lets them play tambourines and generally has a ball with them. Small towns are pretty cool.

Grandma read the kids a story from one of the old Care Bear books before they hit the sack. Everyone was loving those Care Bear books and looks forward to reading them when we visit the cabin....cracks me up.
Abbie helped Papa with his exercises. She did all his counting for him (he got a new knee).
The enormous pile of brown snow was a huge hit.
Kyle has been telling me about a game called "Corn Hole" that they've been playing in PE lately. He has been trying to explain it to me and I couldn't really believe that they would play it in his 7th grade PE class. Well, sure enough, Grandma shows up with a set of Corn Hole games for the kids. I laughed pretty hard. No one else really got it but when I got home and told Kyle he thought it was pretty cool.

Of course, despite the cold weather (and lapsed registration...oops!) there was a good amount of cabin car riding to be had as well.
Another great weekend at the cabin. Can't wait to go back. Hoping the weather is just a wee bit warmer the next time. It was downright cold some of the time and we'd like a little nicer weather for the 4th (or earlier). But we sure are thankful Grandma & Papa built it for our family to enjoy. It truly is the best.
