Cabin Weekend

Kirk wasn't able to find anyone to cover for his on-call duty over the weekend so the kids and I headed to the cabin for Minong days. Grandma, Grandpa and the Gores family were also up. For dinner on Friday we had one of the kids favorite meals (spaghetti without plates)

Saturday morning we went on the usual walk around the circle and ended up finding 8 monarch caterpillars for our butterfly house. Hopefully this year the girls will actually be able to see one hatch from the chrysalis.

After a quick lunch we were headed to town. The kids are always excited about the parade. We found our spot just minuets before the start. Marshall did not want to sit and wait he was determined to walk in the street. Luckily one of the first floats that went by had freezes so i was able to keep him occupied with that for most of the parade. This was also the first time I have ever seen a float throw stuffed animals. My guess is they are the ones they weren't able to get rid of at a garage sale??? After the parade we went to the local ice cream shop for treats and wi-fi access. That is when the rain started which cut our trip to town short. There were plenty of rides/attractions/food in town but didn't want to be soaked just to attend.

Grandpa started a campfire Saturday night. The bugs were attacking me so Grandma Glenys got out the bug hats. Everyone wanted one so she made more for everyone out of toule and ribbon.

Pretty Ginny :)

Sunday we were up and out the door at 9:00 am. We were off to Hayward for our annual trip to the wilderness walk. Kirk missed out this year but it is only open until Labor day so this was our only chance this year. It turned out to be a great day for it and it wasn't even crowded. All of the kids seemed to enjoy themselves this year. I was afraid Marshall would get his finger bit or grab an animal that would retaliate. Luckily we left unscathed can't say the same for lunch at McDonalds. Mykaela had a bit of a breakdown and ended up sitting in the car with Grandma while the rest finished up lunch.

I missed a picture of him 'petting' the goats.





Look mom I found some rocks.

We got home at 4:00 and made a quick trip to the park with dad before calling it a night. Only our night of activites weren't over. Both girls got sick at 10 pm. Can't figure out if they have a virus or if it something they ate. Mykaela also has some weird rash on her face that appears then disappears completely from the previous location and shows up in a different place her face. Called the nurse line and they said to keep an eye on it ... hopefully it will clear up on it's own.
