Around the Cabin

We spent four days and three nights at the cabin this year. This post is dedicated to the fun things we did around the cabin!

The Klassen Cabin. In the far right corner is the second residence that is usable but under construction. This is where we slept, in the upper loft. Melissa loved that we all slept in one big room together!
Melissa & Xander only got to play together briefly as we arrived on the same day that the Browns were leaving. The two of them found great entertainment value in this refrigerator box...
Just sitting around the campfire, Melissa soaked up all the Nani lap time she possibly could! Looks like she is helping Nani play her Sudoku game...
A huge highlight for Melissa was picking these tiny, but very sweet, wild strawberries that grew all throughout the ground cover...

Melissa found ways to be 'helpful' and enjoyed gardening with Nani...
The guys had their own way of 'relaxing', mowing the brush/ground cover and cutting down trees...
Sadly many pine trees need to be taken down each year due to the pine beetles.

Melissa observes the tree being taken down, at first with a fair bit of apprehension, then a bit of a nervous chuckle in celebration...
One morning after a walk with Papa & Daddy, Melissa came into the cabin bearing a bunch of picked wild flowers!
Building lego guys with Daddy...
Game time... playing Bingo!
Melissa laying her bingo chips...
Playing her Dora 'Candyland' board game...
Going for an after dinner walk...
Melissa gets a piggy-back ride when her legs were too sore to walk!

Throwing rocks in the lake, one last time...
Dusk quickly turned to night, Melissa & Nani get a ride back to the cabin on the quad...
