We all headed to the cabin for another weekend up there. The girls and I headed up early on Friday so we could enjoy the river as it was a hot day. We had two inner tubes that we took turns floating on. The only trouble was the water being so shallow, it was easy to bang your knees on the rocks as Julia and I did. She will tell you though that “we didn’t even need an ice pack as the water was so cold.”
Julia had fun on the river but also had a great time in her inner tube off the river as well. Both girls slept on them one night and there was lots of other tube activites throughout the day. Unfortunately Julia’s tube did not survive the weekend. I think jumping on it in a gravel yard might have had something to do with it.
Some friends joined us on Saturday for a day of hanging out and a hike. These girls all get along really well as they are part of our Hope Lodge trips every year. The hike was to Dorothy Lake and it was great. There were so many huckleberries to pick on the way that is was slow going, but whatever works to get them up the trail. At the lake the kids had a blast climbing all over the log jams and wading in the water.
Vicky joined us for the last night and after we were all treated to Kayla’s restaurant for dinner, they hunkered down for some book reading time in bed. The girls are loving having their granny here.
