We spent an impromptu night away at a friend's cabin last weekend!
Sam and Dan were planning to fish there on Saturday morning,
so they asked to spend the night and Joe and I snuck along with them.
Now let me tell you how we squeezed this in...after Sam was done with tennis practice
at 7pm and Joe and I have to be back in town by 9am the next morning.
But, it sure felt like an escape!
DH was making us a fire when we got there.
It was a nice summer evening and the fire felt good.
My pics are dark but the memories are strong.
We 'might' have let the boys play in the fire
and make their own "glow sticks".
We didn't take a thing with us other than blankets to sleep on
and drinks. We used the fire for our entertainment.
Joe took this picture...
We played 3 rounds of Sequence before bed.
No one wanted to be my partner, but Sam and I won 2 rounds anyway
and he changed his mind!
It stormed as we were going to bed and that made the cabin extra cozy.
We were rewarded with a hazy sunrise the next morning
And the storm/heat made the pond they fished extra mossy by morning,
but the fishing was good. John ( our friend who owns the cabin) came the next morning
and they fished the areas of the pond they cannot reach without a boat.
Dan and Sam stayed to fish and caught 25 or so -
it made for delicious lunch at Grandma's on Sunday!
As Joe and I were leaving this family of deer were there. So very pretty!
Excellent family evening
