Cabin Trip

Alex and I decided to take a trip to the cabin the weekend after the marathon for some outdoor time and R&R. Colt split time between grandparents and we took Brooks and the pups with us.


We spent a long weekend playing outside on the hiking trails and exploring much of the land around our cabin. "Hiking" and exploring with a 2-year-old is much different than regular hiking. It was fun to see the experience through the eyes of a two-year-old. Brooks and the pups just ran around like crazy enjoying playtime without boundaries! Brooks picked up every rock and stick before throwing them in the water. He even found a couple of hiking sticks to help him up those big climbs. Everything was new to him which made it even more fun for Alex and me.


We had breakfast at the same little restaurant, Stevens Gap, everyday. They have THE best pancakes I have ever eaten and that is what Brooks wanted every morning. He showed off his chair dancing and "Itsy Bitsy Spider" singing skills each morning which caught the eye of every patron in there. We also ate Mexican Food for dinner every night b/c Brooks loved to play with the dancing Santa Claus at the restaurant (not to mention that he LOVES chips and salsa too!).


Other than playing around outside, we spent some time watching movies in the cabin, reading and fixin' things that needed a little fixin'. Brooks likes to help daddy with his handy work :-)


When it was time to go, Brooks was a little sad and kept saying, "mommy, cabin." I am sure we'll head back out there soon so we can all get our fix of the great outdoors!
