Another fun cabin weekend

We are so blessed to be able to spend time at the Zoll family cabin a couple times a year. I really love being around my family, even though I know I'm such a party pooper at night. Waking up at 4:45 a.m. every morning for work has really made Rachel a dull girl!! I have 12 nieces and nephews now and I just love to see them and spend time with them. There is so much to do at the cabin and every time we go, there are new things. We played... rock band on the theater size screen in the kids play room, sand volleyball, slip and slide, 4 wheeling, jungle gym with rock wall, pool, watched movies in the theatre room, swung on the rope swing, cards with the fam at night...all this and more, but the kids still fought and cried over who's turn it was on the arcade. Ha ha, kids will be kids. I truly have an amazing family, there isn't one member I could do without. How can I best describe my love for my sisters...I can't, there are no words. I wish I could spend more time with them. It's always nice when we can get together like this. It's like a vacation. Thanks again Zoll's!!

I stole this mosaic from Amanda's site. It's so cool and I don't know how to do it. Anyway it show's some good highlights of the trip.

Labor Day Camping and Boating

We went camping over Labor Day weekend with our good friends Cam and Michelle and also Ty and Liza. We had so much fun I wonder why we haven't gone more. When all of us were just dating each other, we would go every weekend! We would just decide...then, grab everyone and everything and go. I guess that's what happens when we get older and kids come into the picture. Everything takes more planning and time. Cam and Michelle have a little girl and she is soooo dang cute!! She did so good the whole time, what a great little camper. It was fun to watch our good friends fill the role of parenthood so naturally and so well. I love you guys! Anyway, we had a great time boating during the day and hanging out by the fire at night. Saturday was a nice day, but there were so many boats on the lake it was a bit choppy. Still, it was fun to be out. Sunday, it was overcast and a bit cool, but the boys were brave and wanted to hit the lake. It turned out better than Saturday because we were all but alone on the lake. Us girls just bundled up and the boys took turns behind the boat. Here's some pics...
