Visit to the Cabin.

One of the good things in life are my Grandma Combe's prize peas. They were delicious and she was so kind to let us come over and snatch a few of them. There is a story behind the peas. We once were on a walk up at our cabin. The day was beautiful and we came across a nice looking vegetable garden. Grandma took a look at the peas, they looked yummy. She picked about three of them and they were delicious. I believe it was my sister who called my Grandma out on theft. My Grandma felt so bad. Ever since that time, over four years she has tried to return some peas. She always felt bad for not asking first. We just laugh with Grandma and she probably laughs harder at herself. Thank you for sharing your peas Grandma.

We had so much fun at the cabin that I will have to split the post up in two or three. We spent about three and a half days at the cabin. Willie and I were the first to arrive and we found that a tree had fallen over in the drive way. We had to clear the path so that all the cars coming would fit in.

At the cabin we get to relax, watch movies, play with toys, read books, clean up the things that need cleaning and many more things. The kids made their beds on the floor and we set up the computer for them to watch a movie. I think they enjoyed it.

We did put the kids to work though after a little while. Actually my Grandma and I started cleaning the chairs when my boys came out and said they wanted to help rinse off the chairs, so we let them.

Some of the good toys have been lost but there remain a few of them. We still have the old Fisher Price home. Most of the people are missing and there is a car. Somehow the kids still had fun even though all the pieces weren't there.

The mornings at the cabin are some to treasure. I always remember waking up to the smell of bacon and coffee (my mom likes it). It would be very quiet for a long time and I would hear maybe one or two people awake. Some of the adults would go for a walk but my dad always seemed to be getting breakfast ready. My dad is great at making breakfast, especially for large groups. The black couch sits by the front window. If we were cold we would sit on it when the sun was shining on the couch. Nice and hot. It's a great couch to sit and watch the sleepy heads waking up upstairs. One morning Lincoln and Kaylee decided to get a little more sleep, this is how they ended up.

Walks are always nice. My sisters used our stroller for a walk one day when I wasn't feeling to great. More to come on that later.

My little sister was planning to leave early so for some reason we took her picture with all the nieces and nephews only one missing. I wish the kids would have been good longer so that we could have had a picture with Grandma too.

The kids had fun teasing Grandpa David. My dad was mindin' his own business when the kids came up to him to tickle him, some were a little more rough than others. In the end it seemed like it was a beat up on Grandpa time.
By this point my dad was wondering whose bright idea it was to tickle him.

Henry and Reagan had fun together. They loved the necklace that I brought from my moms house. I guess it was a play Mardi Gras necklace. The two kiddos kept sharing with each other throughout the trip.

On Saturday there was a golf cart parade. In the next post I will mention the reason why I wasn't feeling so great. The kids loved the candy, we loved the decorations and it was fun to remember the birth of our Country.
