Labor Day Weekend at the Cabin

For Labor Day weekend we got out of the heat and headed through the rain to Keith's parent's cabin up north.  Soon after our arrival we went with Grandpa Jackson to play at the local school.

Later that night, my parents arrived at the cabin also.  The next morning they presented our boys with official frontiersmen hats.  Grant loved his hat and wore it as he led my mom and I on a little hike.  

 We saw lots of beautiful things along the way.

 The wild flowers were out in force.  It was so pretty.

On Sunday afternoon we went for a drive to Forest Lakes to have a look around.  The boys all skipped rocks in the lake.  Grant "fished" with his walking stick.  On this outing he wore his "cowboy" hat.

On our way back to our car we met some people who where looking at something high up in the trees. It was a bald eagle.  I don't know if I've ever seen one in real life, but there it was.  It was so neat to see.

That night we had a fire and took turns telling "scary" stories.  I could listen to Grant's stories all night. They are so clever and funny.  Brett told us about some cows.

Our trip was a success.  We were bummed to leave, but it was sure nice to get away.
