Weekend at the Cabin

A couple of weekends ago, we took the McGee family for a relaxing vacation up to our cabin in Oklahoma. There were six of us and four Golden Retrievers - we had a cabin full!



The fall is a beautiful time of year to go as the leaves are changing, the bugs are usually gone and the weather is nice and chilly. We found out that there was a folk festival going on the weekend we were there so the park was packed with people from all over.

Brooks had been sick for a few days with a stomach virus but we thought we would take him anyway, hoping he would get better. He started to get better by Saturday night but my mom ended up catching it on Friday, then my sister got it on Sunday (not a fun drive home for her) and my dad had it on Monday!!! Thanks to our little guy, the entire McGee family caught the stomach flu; however, Alex and I made it out without a problem - THANK GOODNESS!!!

Apart from everyone getting sick, we had a really nice time. We spent a couple of days in the park enjoying the festival. There was live folk music, arts & crafts, horribly greasy and fattening food, homemade root beer (YUM!) and a petting zoo which Brooks LOVED!




We did plenty of walking with the pups, letting them run wild on the land. The dogs have a blast every time we go up to the cabin. There is so much stuff for them to chase and smell!

All in all, it was a great weekend with the family!
