The Last Hurrah of Summer

We were able to take an extended weekend at the cabin over Labor Day Weekend before plunging into the school year.  We drove up Thursday night after work and stayed through late morning on Monday.  The weather was unusually cool and the water was icy compared to what we were used to feeling! One of the nicest days of the weekend was on Kerry's birthday (although the coldest she can ever remember waking up to at 42 degrees).  The Hopps came up to join us on Saturday afternoon.  Lucy and Cayla were like long lost friends and all of the kids got along so well.  The kids especially enjoyed a treasure hunt created by "Grandpa Keith".

They could throw rocks into the lake for hours!

Charlie spent most of the summer being opposed to paddling and water in general but he came around!

Charlie has a new love for minnows; he especially likes holding them.

Lucy told Cayla they needed to sit by the light so she could read the book...even though she doesn't know how to read words yet :)
