>6/30/16 This week was our Spring Lake cabin
stay. I packed so much stuff in the pickup that I had to squeeze the boys in the front seat together. We were busting at the seams. The back had all the bikes and more.They were excited and so was I. This is my kind of fun. Back in Februaruy I rented two cabins for 4 nights. I wanted one cabin
for our family and the other cabin, Mom & Dad, Wade & Carina, and Aunt
Alice could take turns staying in. Last year everyone thought the cabin was so
neat and wanted to stay. It sounded good until the week of. I had to reschedule
things and say no to events in order to commit to the stay. It seemed like everything was going on the week I had reservations. I made it a
priority and was going to Spring Lake no matter what.
My parents and Alivia, stayed the first
two nights. Carina and Alice came down for an afternoon, but nobody could stay
the last two nights. After 3 nights, the boys were starting to ask to go home,
so sadly, I made arrangements and got out of the last night. Jayden was at Clear Lake
with her youth group friends and only came for an evening to the cabin. Mark
came for two dinners. I enjoy the cabin as do the boys. It is quiet and
peaceful. We unplug from the computer, internet, television, and phone calls.
The cabins are so nice tucked away in a peaceful wooded area. I had meals
planned out for the entire week, breakfast, lunch, and dinner. I had a list for everyone to help with the grocery list for food. Grandpa had to
go to town and get his morning coffee, Wade had to make a moutnian dew and
donuts run, and Mawgee had to do some shopping. We spent a lot of time on the
beach watching the kids play in the water a couple times a day. One day I
floated on my raft and relaxed soaking in the sunshine. 
The kids and I rode
bikes numerous times a day going all around the camp and a couple times around
the lake. Grandpa went on some rides too. Most of the meals were done on the
grill and took some preparation. In the evenings we had smores each night. We
also played some board games with the kids and colored some pictures. The
weather could not have been better, 70 in the mornings and 80 in the
afternoons, slight breeze and some days a little cloudy. Not too hot or humid,
but ideal. We had a little rain shower on Wed morning. We really needed a big
rain shower at home but only got two
tenths. Jake and Luke loved riding bikes and swimming. Luke had his shorts and cowboy boots on everywhere he went. The last morning was very peaceful. I was up before the boys and sat
outside the cabin and read a book with the birds singing all around and a
woodpecker tapping away. So the cabin time is not perfect. Ideally Mark and
Jayden would stay and we could all enjoy it. When I load all the supplies and
at the end of the stay I unload everything, bikes, food, clothes, supplies, back at home all
myself, I wonder why go to all the trouble. But, I do enjoy it and I will do it next year even if I go by myself.
