Mini Get-Away

My dear one and I took the three youngest kiddos up north this weekend.

We spent a couple of days in a little hunting cabin in "a clearing" in the woods as our tenacious one put it.  My dear one and his brother, dad and uncles built it many years ago and have since updated it to include two bedrooms, a bathroom and a laundry area.

The older girls never wanted to use the outhouse so the bathroom was a must for keeping mom and kids happy on trips to see grandma and grandpa.

This is the view from the chair in the corner. Look at those
racks! There is also a good size fireplace and mantle which is awesome in the late Fall but, which,  in
94° weather,  we did not use.
We went to the beach one day and the water was surprisingly warm.  Of course sea shells were collected and stones skipped.  
The water was so shallow the kids could walk out a fair distance and still not be in up to their waist.  

I actually finished two books.  They are re-reads but it was still nice to have some quiet, peaceful time.

They had a great time playing with a couple of their cousins and were very sad to come home.  But we'll go back in August for some more family time.
