Relaxation


We have been doing a lot of adult/parent kind of things lately and said the weekend of August 7/8 needs to be a kiddo weekend. Fun things for them and all about them as they have been well behaved while we have been busy with our projects. Well... Pete has a co-worker with a cabin at Okoboji/Spirit Lake and she gave us the keys and said go have a good time! What perfect timing, so we packed it up quickly and headed out for the weekend.

The cabin sits on the water and is just wonderful. 3 bedrooms so lots of space to spread out and really relax! We now have one old enough to run the camera so we can have pictures with both Pete and I with some of the kiddos. So this is group shot one.












Group shot two, noticed the water behind! What a lovely view we had and it was so peaceful. The property has a boat dock, unfortunately the fish were not biting. It also has a fire pit that we ran out of time for, plus it was a bit windy.





Lots of this though, relaxing and just hanging out as a group of six. It was so nice to escape the laundry, computer, cleaning, phones and everything else homeowners have to do when they are home.





Naps were taken by most at various points throughout the stay. I think Brie was most comfy in this big chair!








The cabin has air conditioning that we found out works very well, snuggling with blankets Saturday morning was necessary.










PJ is completely into boats after this weekend. He could be found in this position almost always. Watching out the window giving us a play by play of each boat that past by.








Rock climbing anyone?








Of Course we found a beach on Spirit Lake that was a hit with everyone. When we returned Sunday morning we were the only ones on the beach, it was lovely. The girls practised swimming lessons and we were very happy with how well they can swim. Thanks POP!











Brie relaxing beach side listening to the waves hitting the shore.













Bathtime was even fun at the cabin. Brie has turned into quite the splasher in the water as well.
