As you may remember me mentioning in years past, every so often, I get the chance to get together with a great bunch of friends from my college years and we even try to get away together on weekends and we head up to one of our friend's cabins! It's been awhile since we could all make it work, but this winter, we all found a weekend (and I had a quarterly weekend that I could take off, so it was perfect!) and we ventured to northern Wisconsin. Unfortunately, Michael was not able to get off of work, so I ventured with all 3 girls on a 6 hour road trip to the "Waterman Cabin".
While it sure isn't like it used to be at the cabin (I'll let you search through the archives and see previous posts about how it used to be), our cabin weekends now revolve around naptimes, and bedtimes and eating times and of course play times! Basically, the cabin weekend reflects our lives of all of our friends right now and revolves around kids! - though we did manage to get in an "adult" game or two and of course we always have great and memorable conversations: )
All 4 families were able to make it (except Michael:( boo). And between the 4 families, we were entertained by 7 kids. My friends were AWESOME at helping me out and holding Charlye and taking care of the older girls being that I was flying solo. We even managed to get all the kids outside for a bit each day to enjoy the great outdoors!
And instead of all us adults getting out to go snowmobiling or engaging in an intense game of broom ball, we did a lot of pulling kids around in sleds (or driving them around as Scott did! They loved it!)
I'm so very grateful for these friends...Scott, Maggie, Suelynn, Aaron, and Scott and Betty (Unfortunately, I didn't get a picture of them!). And I love that our kiddos can play together and we make it a point to continue to get together and grow in our friendships.
...until we see each other again:)
