The days were very enjoyable, full of swimming, canoeing, horseback riding and lots of free play time. The kids loved it, and who wouldn't, with free play time with mom and dad! There was a tire swing right outside our cabin, so that was a huge hit from the start. We were really glad that the Isaacsons were there and had the cabin right next to us!
The girls also loved the horse-back riding. Kendall is still talking about it. She loved the white horse, but she kept calling it the yellow horse, so now, even at home, she's saying "ride yellow horse?" "ride again?"
She's a horse lover already.
Unfortunately, the whole weekend was not so rosey. We did not have the best living conditions, so that caused us to get very little sleep. I wasn't expecting luxury accomodations, I knew that we had rented a cabin, but I was hoping it would've been cleaned out a little better prior to our arrival. It appeared that we were the first ones in it from the winter, so it was very dusty, with much evidence of little creatures and crawlers. Let's just say we had to go through everything and shake it all out before we left to come home, and Mama didn't sleep so well wondering what was happening in our cabin in the wee hourse of the night! And, to top it all off, the first night there was a thunderstorm (no glass on the windows, so we heard everything loud and clear), so little girls did not sleep and crawled into the very small, less-than-twin size beds with us. Plus, the cabin had settled down on one side, so my bed was slightly leaning. You wouldn't know it until you had to sleep there and could only sleep on the side that went up-hill!
Oh, it was funny. It's stuff like this that gives us fun memories to laugh about. We did decide to leave one night early to allow us all to get some much needed sleep, but it was still a good time and will leave a lasting memory with our children.
We might go back again, although I'm pretty sure we will upgrade our accomodations!
