Fun Times with the Tweens!

Oh to be young again and full of so much energy!

In March Berkley wanted to take some friends up

to our cabin for her birthday, but I talked her

into waiting til summer when there's so much

more to do. 

She invited Meg, Rachael, and Hannah!

They had 3 days of nonstop fun and activities.

Even the hammock turned into an

adventure where they took turns

swinging each other!

Gathered around the table for lots of

game playing and eating!



If you were to ask them, I'm sure they'd say boating, tubing
and playing on the beach were their favorite activities.
These girls sure know how to have fun together!





Guess they hadn't had enough sun so they
rode in the back of the truck. They were
finally worn out which was very unusual!





Berkley and Hannah were our florists.
 They gathered up beautiful wild flowers
 and made these bouquets
which we enjoyed for days!





The day we arrived was Ron's birthday.
The girls helped me make him a cake
and we sang Happy Birthday to him.
Ron's sister Kim gave him this beautiful
set of copper pans for our cabin. After
much deliberating, we decided to display
them in this cupboard. Thanks Kim -
they add a nice touch to our cabin!





The girls enjoyed a couple of hours
going to the pool and hot tub - guess
they weren't water logged yet!





We love it when there's a full moon because
the reflection on the water is so breathtaking.

Another thing we love is seeing moose
as long as they're far away.
 Because there is so much snow melt,
 we hadn't seen any yet,
 so we were surprised to see this one
across the ravine.
 Glad the girls got to see a moose in the wild.




The trip wouldn't be complete without a good
old-fashioned wienie roast complete with s'mores!





The only time they were quiet!





Best Buds!
Rachael, Berkley, Hannah, and Meg

 

Their 2nd favorite activity was 4-wheeling

but unfortunately I forgot to take any pictures.

 We rode around every day when we

got back from the lake and

it was a great way to cool off.

What a fun trip and what a fun bunch of girls.

I didn't hear one argument and they

were talking, singing, giggling, and constantly

figuring out the best ways they could
to entertain themselves!

I'm sure this will become a tradition for

Berkley just as it has been

the past five years for Chandler

and his buddies!

 So we better start resting now

 for next year!
