Weekend at the cabin

I so wish we had "a cabin."

Or "a lakehouse."

Or something equally as cool.

Maybe someday after we get our house paid off. And we can invite different friends every weekend to enjoy it with us. Doesn't that sound fun?

We were very lucky to have been invited to our cousins' cabin out in east Texas. We had a great time!!! This cabin has SO much to do, tailored to a family just like ours. If we ever have a cabin, I want to have all these things. Plus a trampoline. :)

Em's mom and dad pretty much built this whole thing - minus the foundation and framing. Her dad also built much of the furniture inside. Very cool.

Inside there are two adult bedrooms downstairs, each with a bathroom. Upstairs is a large kids bedroom that sleeps at least 6 - with room on the floor for more!





Downstairs is a big family room with games and puzzles and movies and toys and books - and a big couch to cuddle with baby cousins. :)







The cabin sits on top of a hill, and this rope swings right off the "cliff." We all took some rides on it - and it WAS fun! Look how high and far ZZ flies!!!





In the back, there are sleds to slide down a very steep hill. Yes, this picture is right before Brian and Zac totally busted it right into the dirt, toppling over each other! LOL!





For dinner, we roasted hot dogs at the campfire spot. Then made smores for dessert. Zac just liked lighting sticks on fire. :)





In the morning, there is a pancake tradition where you have to catch your pancakes across the room. (Zac thought this was really cool!)






There were little motorcycle scooter things (probably a better name for these, but I don't know what they're called) to ride around the property. (just realized I messed up this pic... supposed to have another picture, not two of the same. oh well!)






You can walk or ride down to the lake, where you can swim (too cold right now) or fish or boat. It's also a great place to ride a razor scooter or have Daddy swing you around.








The kids mostly fished....









Although Zac spent a lot of time playing in the minnow bucket...







And we only had one kiddo fall in. Thankfully it was in shallow water and ended up being pretty funny. Not for her, though! Bless her sweet little bitty heart!!




The only thing we didn't get to do is shower in the outdoor shower, which looked super cool! Oh, and there was a pingpong table that we didn't play. We did sign the guest book, though. And hopefully we'll get to go back again!!!
