Surveying their domain.
"Well, what are you waiting for? Hurry up!"
Flying!
(Mike's hair doesn't flow as prettily as Heather's...)
Sigh. I wish we could go back now.

Cabin Trip 2011: Final Installment
This, your last post about the Cabin Trip, is devoted to random pictures taken while exploring the area right around the cabin.

Cabin Trip 2011: Part 4
I know. You're wondering how many parts are there going to be? Well, this one. And one more. And then we'll see.
This part is the one wherein we visit a local beach and build a magnificent sand castle complete with woven rooftops and bridges.

Cabin Trip 2011: Part 2
Wherein we visit the local pumpkin patch. That also had apples. And an elephant. Yep, an elephant. That you could ride. I don't know what it is about Michigan, but it seems that you can't have an orchard without also having something akin to an amusement park. I guess most kids just aren't that into apple picking? There has to be a bouncy house, a petting farm, and some kind of ride. Needless to say, we skipped the amusement park and went straight to the pumpkins and apples.
Pumpkins!
Apples!
Apples!
Cabin Trip 2011: Part 1
Technically I already started posting from the Cabin trip, since the photos of Abby were taken there. But anyway.
In 2009 we went to the Upper Peninsula of MI (7 hours).
In 2010 we went to the tip of the Mitt of MI (5 hours).
This year we went halfway up the west coast of MI (3 hours).
I see a pattern. Regardless, it was still a beautiful place and very relaxing. Sadly, we were missing several of the usual suspects (you know who you are).
As you can see, it had two levels. The upper level was bigger and our main lounging location. The downstairs apartment was perfect for sleeping babies to get away from yelling toddlers. There was a 3 acre fenced dog run to boot. Yes, 3 acres. When I first let the dogs loose in there I panicked. I couldn't see the end of it--what if it wasn't really fenced? After a good 20 minute walk around I satisfied myself of its soundness. But it was all for naught. The dogs spent the ENTIRE time sitting by the gate.
The inside of the cabin was perfect. It came complete with HUNDREDS of toddler toys, books, and gadgets. The kids were in heaven. I didn't take many inside pictures because lounging people aren't that photogenic. But, lounging kids are pretty photogenic.
