We had so much fun on the trampoline last weekend at the cabin. I just love to see my little munchkin jumping up in the air and having fun. Its sort of bittersweet. It shows me that some of the fear of being a little girl has gone away, because she is a very cautious child, yet she laughs with no end and it is the kind of gleeful laugh that warms my heart. You cant help but smile when you watch the kids feeling so free up in the air.
We are off to the cabin again this afternoon for the weekend. One of the neighbors up there, who is good friends with my father in law needs his cabin roofed so all the guys are getting together for that. I figured I may as well take Ella up there instead of us bonking heads all weekend at home by ourselves. It is supposed to be cooler this weekend...60's - 70's, I am actually looking forward to sitting out by the fire drinking some hot chocolate on those cool nights!
We had such a nice time up north at my in laws cabin. The weather was wonderful, we celebrated Karen's birthday, one of my 3 sister in laws, and the kids had a ball together. A big thing for the kids was the trampoline. It seemed like they couldnt get enough of it. We ate so much last weekend that I can literally feel my body expanding. Isnt that what vacations are for?
Crystal, Morgan and I (my other 2 sister in laws) took Jack and Ella into town to go to the grocery store. Crystal wanted to get Karen and ice cream cake at Dairy Queen for her birthday. So when we stopped, of course we all got little treats for ourselves. I was so full that I told myself I wouldnt need to eat any of the cake that night because I had had enough ice cream. Well, wouldnt you know....Dinner comes around (which would be 2 fried turkeys and pot luck dishes from all the people that were up there, um ya...we know how to eat), and then the cake came out and I couldnt resist! Horrible...But so yummy! :)
Ella was so fascinated when Karen was painting her finger nails. I had painted Ella's before we left and her and Karen decided that they would match. She was all over it! She loves her Aunty's so much. We are lucky to have them!
Everett is just over a year old and he LOVED the trampoline just as much as the big kids. He squeeled with laughter when the kids jumped and made him bounce in the air.
I could not believe this last picture when I looked at it on the computer. I could not stop laughing. This was Brooklyn, one of the other little kids that was up there. Her and Ella played really well together. If we only had a trampoline at home!
