Memorial Day Weekend

Well the kids were done with school in time for Memorial Day weekend and it was our first trip up to the cabin for the season. We were looking forward to some great weather and fun with cousins and Grandparents. The kids had a great time. The weather was great, a little on the cool side, but it was nice. The kids spent about 5 hours on Friday building a club house with their cousins and it turned out to be look more like a luxury suite than a club house.

Then a few days later the girls decided to build their own club so they started from scratch on a new one in a different location. They all had a blast finding things and there was little to no bickering from any of the kids. The even better part was that they were all so busy with their project that they weren't asking for quad rides all day long.

They had fun feeding the birds with Papa and they all worked hard with their dads raking up the pine needles from around the cabins.


We were even able to have a bonfire one night and sing songs and just hang out.


All in all it was a really fun weekend and some great memories were made. Even Austin had a great time, he enjoyed the hammock alot more than the tire swing!!

Oh yeah, I almost forgot a funny story. It's much funnier in person with the hand motions and expression but it's one that has to be recorded none the less. One afternoon Jared and his cousin Zach were each sitting on a quad, facing each other and playing a game. The game entailed each of them having special powers and they were each taking the others' powers away. While they were doing this one of the twins was also sitting on a quad between the two of them and looked like he was watching a tennis match with his head going back and forth between the two boys. Eventually the game got out of hand and the boys were yelling at each other. Natalie and JJ were watching the entire thing and said they thought the boys were going to start throwing fists so they stepped in and told the boys that they gave each of them back their own powers, but that wasn't enough for Jared. He yelled out, "No, Zach still has mine!" Needless to say the game was ended, Jared came to me crying and all of us adults spent the rest of the weekend laughing hysterically about the incident and wishing that someone had caught it on video to capture it forever.
