Cabin Trip March 2012

We decided to make our inaugural family trip up to the cabin in March.  The weather was pretty chilly, and it was misting on and off.  We did get a good hike in, and had food cooked over the fire.  But, due to things beyond our control, we ended up cutting our trip short and heading home on Saturday afternoon!  The kids just were not very happy with the sleeping arrangements in the cabin, were getting crabby, and Mommy and Daddy couldn't take their (or our) crabbyness anymore!  It turned out to be a HUGE blessing in disguise!  The Lord works in truly mysterious ways and we are so grateful that he doesn't tell us his plans!
Out for a walk around the circle.  Daddy brought a rifle so he could shoot at a porcupine if he saw one.  I think we were all disappointed that we didn't see one!

Here's Levi's ride
After a while, Daddy took over carrying Levi.  Then, Levi was so tired and had so much fresh air that he fell asleep!
We carefully took the backpack off of Daddy's back and propped it up in the cabin, letting the little boy sleep longer.

It wasn't long before he was up and devouring his army guy!  Daddy looks very excited about it!

Alena colored...

And Daddy worked as the human colored pencil sharpener!
Alena decided that the fire needed some poking.  She felt like a big girl doing that!

Look at all of the shells she found strewn all over!  Daddy hinted that they may have been from the guys weekend earlier in the year!

Queen of the dirt hill!
