A weekend enjoying a little slice of paradise

I hope this doesn't end up being our only trip up to the cabin this summer...because the boys had an amazing weekend and we just love seeing them have so much fun in our favourite place on earth! We couldn't thank Uncle Larry enough for having us and hope we are invited back again soon!

Of course every good weekend up the lake starts with a case of beer

and white squishy buns from Safeway too. These are just non negotiable things when planning a cabin weekend.

And some Corona's for Papa as well.

Happy James driving Papa's boat

Mom and Jordie went up earlier in the day and she sent me this picture

There they are waiting for us!

The weather wasn't super nice on Friday night but the boys kept themselves busy playing games

And the next morning they were colouring

Time for some binocular viewing in our PJ's out on the deck

JUST after breakfast James was begging to go swimming


You couldn't have paid me to get in that cold water. There was not a single hint of sunshine anywhere and the water was cold. 

See, Jordie knew better too!

Me, enjoying a nice cup of tea in my favourite place in the whole world!


By the afternoon the sun was trying to come out...but as you can see the clouds were still kind of gray and yucky....and you can also see that James didn't care in the least

Drying off


Time for a boar ride with Papa



And some afternoon games with Daddy

He finally went in...but only if someone was holding his hands and putting him in!






He finally got in and him and his brother swam all the way over to the logs and back all by themselves! 

Sunny selfie time

Snuggles with Nana and Papa before bed

Believe it or not this photo was taken at almost 10pm when they were finally saying goodnight to Uncle Larry!

Finally out cold long after 10

Bright and early Sunday morning snuggles

Yes, we feed him licorice in the morning up there...it's cabin life, there are no rules, especially about eating junk food


Fishing with Papa

The most yummy cabin breakfast I've ever had...EGGS BENNY!! Delicious and I've been craving it ever since we were up there. Need to make this...but none of my boys love it like I do!

A lot of hard work has gone into making this bunky! Can't wait till it's all done and we can spend our first night in there. 

Sunday afternoon and clearly Jordie is not happy about having his photo taken! 

James however is as agreeable as ever! 


hahahahaha...that's a bit better Jordie!


hahahahahaha...this one is funny!

And of course funny face time!


Time for the four of them to go to shore to do some job that Uncle Larry needed done.




He was close to jumping in...but not quite. Maybe next time we head up there he will!

So much fun...and not a lot of sleep...so of course Jordie had a nap on Sunday.

Checking out the new swim grid that the guys built.

Most beautiful view I've ever seen. I could easily live up there!






Jordie wanted a photo of him and Gunther in their matching life jackets



On our way back before supper on Sunday

We couldn't fit everyone in one trip so Jordie got left behind with Nana and Papa for the second trip.

Funny James "suns out, guns out"...his new favourite saying of the summer!
