Weekend at the Cabin without Mom and Dad

Our kids are very blessed to have some pretty awesome grandparents. Geoff's parents started this tradition last year and it is something the kids really look forward too. Geoff and I really look forward to it too! They went back in October for three days and had the best time. I knew what was happening almost every minute because Nicole learned how to text with her Grandma's phone. Every time she got a splinter or the went on a treasure hunt and even the occasional, "I miss yous". I hardly had time to miss her. It was fun to get those cute messages from her.
The kids with Grammy Jo and cousin Natalie (and Coco).
There was lots of quad riding. Katie riding the quad with Grandpa and Coco.

The kids found a tarantula by the lake and were playing with it. Katie is all girl and spiders are not her friends. She was trying to climb up Grammy's leg.

Joey and Grandpa after his catch.
Nicole was really into it. She loves to fish.

I don't really know where she gets this, but she loves to play with bugs, catch lizards and cut the heads off fish. See her lovingly look at her fish head.

Joey preferred to hold his fish in a bag. They brought the fish home and they got to eat them the next day.

Nicole is the true nature girl in the family. She loves being up at the cabin.

Thanks Grandma and Grandpa White for the fun trip to the cabin. The kids can't wait until next year!

How great is that of your parents to take your kids to the cabin! Looks like they had a lot of fun. I need to call you Andrea about the activity day Wed. We need to make a plan, huh? Also, Jeremiah informed me that Friday night we have plans--what about Saturday night? Let me know. We'll talk soon.

Sorry--I guess that was Geoff's parents who took your kids to the cabin. How nice!

So jealous. Can they take my kids next year? I am amazed that Nicole is such an outdoorsy girl.
