Heaven On Earth

My wonderful sister in law Amber invited us to go up to her mother in laws cabin this last week (the same one Ryan and Hailey went fishing at). We had such a fabulous time and I can't wait for the next time she invites us (or at least I hope she invites us again!). It was truly heaven on earth. The weather was perfect, the views were gorgeous, the cabin was so beautiful, and the company was the best.

This is the view I enjoyed during most of the day. I loved to sit on the porch and look out at the trees and hear the sound of the wind. It brought back so many wonderful memories from my childhood of spending time at my grandparent's cabin. It has been 8 long years since my grandfather sold it and this is the first time I have been to a cabin since then. Boy have I missed this.

Alexis enjoyed sitting with me on the porch and watching her siblings and cousins play.


Aunt Amber taught the girls that pine trees either smell like vanilla, chocolate, or strawberry and they enjoyed testing her theory out.



Here are all the cousins (minus Alexis). They loved playing together.

Oakley caught all of the girls a caterpillar. They loved taking care of them .


Ryan built a fire pit and the kids enjoyed roasting marshmallows.


Then they enjoyed eating a smore.




This is the closest Alexis could get to a smore (a lonely graham cracker). Maybe someday she will be able to enjoy the whole thing.


Thank you so much Amber for letting us come and enjoy the cabin (and thanks to Kay and James for letting us use their cabin).

How fun! We should definitely do a Ferrell Family reunion in the woods somewhere. I hear Minnesota has great woods, lakes, cabins, and everything!

We miss the cabin so much too and wish we could provide our kids with that same experience, it was truly amazing! This summer we are stopping in Munds Park for a few days to try and give our kids a tast of what is was like for me.
