Cabin Trip 2011

For the past 3 years, we've made a July weekend visit to the cabin. The first year we went, we were accompanied by our friends, the Ruybals, Spauldings, Cuthberts, and Hollingsworths. Since then, we've fondly referred to that trip as "White Trash Weekend." I suppose it earned that name for a number of reasons. Let me just paint a picture with words and you will get the idea: 2 large pregnant bellies, mustard stained tank tops, 10 people crammed into an old rustic cabin with no running water, a practical joke gone wrong, a baby falling off the bed (he was fine,) hours of playing in the lake, and some serious blackmail photos!

This year we were accompanied overnight by the Spauldings. While Dan and Dan went for a late night fishing excursion, Jamie and I tried to lull a very upset Dillan to sleep with NPR. Too classy for "White Trash Weekend?" Don't worry, NPR was broadcast through a marshmallow rigged antenna. We stayed up late playing cards and drinking wine (well, at least I drank wine.) Amazingly enough, the kids slept in until 8! Saturday was spent fishing, napping, sitting around the campfire, and hanging out with the Rogers who drove up for the day.
