Summer Cabin Trip!

07/30/10 - 08/01/10

This is the second year we were invited to spend a weekend at my Uncle Bruce and Aunt Nette's cabin in Crosby, MN.  Maeve was super excited to go back again and we were excited to see how Will liked the lake.  The drive up was pretty quick and the kids did pretty good.  Between napping and watching movies, they stayed occupied the entire time.

After we got up there and got the car unloaded, we went right to the lake.  It was a little overcast, but still plenty warm and Maeve didn't waste any time getting wet!  After playing in the lake for a little bit and taking a short pontoon ride, we had a great BBQ, then started a camp fire and made smores.  Once the sun went down and it was dark, we had a couple drinks and hit the sack.

The next day, Saturday, we woke up and it was a bright sunny day.  We spent most of the time either in or on the lake.  Both Maeve and Will loved being in the water and playing on the beach.  We took many paddle boat rides and could not keep Maeve off of the jet ski!  I nicknamed her "full throttle" because once we cleared the dock she hammered on the throttle and would not let off!  After playing in the lake and taking boat rides, we had another wonderful BBQ, dessert, and then it was off to bed.

The kids were pretty much exhausted the entire weekend.  We had no problems getting them to take naps or go to be at night.  On Sunday morning we woke up and got the cabin cleaned up and helped get things picked up around the beach and boats.  We said our goodbyes and thank yous and were back on the road again.  I think we got back a little after noon and didn't have any issues with the ride home.

I would like to thank by Uncle Bruce and Aunt Nette for their hospitality again this year.  We absolutely love spending time with you at your cabin.  The kids always have an amazing time and Maeve still can not stop talking about it!  Thanks again!
