A Weekend At The Cabin

We have waited for this weekend all

summer, for an open weekend

to escape from our busy lives, so when a

weekend presented itself, we took it.

Time to enjoy ourselves in our favorite place,

The Cabin!!

The girls played games while they waited for

breakfast.

Raychel all ready to go fishing!!
The beautiful lake.
How can you sit by the
still water, breath the cool fresh air
and not feel renewed?
I needed this more then I knew. To
just sit back and listen.


The girls walked the shoreline finding "treasures"

Waiting for the "big one"

The girls love fishing Both girls caught fish, but Raychel caught the first one

of the day.

The girls love to push each other around

the camp in the carts

Raychel got a lesson on how to build a fire

Not bad!

Sitting in the rain waiting to roast marshmallows!

Smile

Roasting marshmallows

Jolene doesn't like hers black just brown!

YUMMY!!

Ward likes his......burnt!

More fishing anyone???

Our little camping beauties

Off exploring

Saying good bye until next time is never easy.

It is such a perfect way to get away! We enjoy the

quiet peaceful feeling of being in the cabin as a family

taking time to get to know each other again without,

phones, TV, or other daily interruptions! We are able

to leave the cabin and feel renewed and ready to jump

back into our lives until we are able to escape to the cabin again.

This time it wont be so long before we're back.

The view on the way home....

Cow crossing!

A Day In Aspen

October's Party

The leaves by hundreds came-

The Chestnuts, Oaks, and Maples,

And leaves of every name.

The Sunshine spread a carpet,

And everything was grand,

Miss Weather led the dancing,

Professor Wind the band."

George Cooper, October's Party

Star Sighting

Stanley Tucci~

We headed up to spend the day in Aspen and as we stopped at a stoplight on the main street as we entered Aspen this familiar looking man crossed the street in front of our van. I thought to myself he looks so familiar, but why? About that time Ward calmly says, "That man in front of us is an actor." And then it hit me all the movies we had seen him in!!

Kit Kittredge: An American Girl~ 2008

ER seasons 14 & 15~2007 &2008

The Devil Wears Prada~ 2006

Shall We Dance~ 2004

And the new movie he is in, Julie & Julia~2009

School Days

I love being invited to spend the afternoon

at school with Jolene and her friends.

They talk and giggle more then they eat!!
It was a beautiful Fall day to be outside
playing tag and just "hanging out."

After recess, it's math time.

Lots of counting, adding, sorting and learning.

One of the math centers was sorting and counting

beans at least to 100, so much to do in so

little time.

I enjoyed my day going back to first grade.

Weather

The month changed,

and so did the weather!!
