The Cabin. (Part 1)

Growing up I would go up to the cabin at least two times each summer spending weeks and weeks flinging behind tubes, roasting marshmallows on the beach, going on walks and bike rides, 4 wheeling, reading, feeding the squirrels, and shopping in West Yellowstone. I used to throw fits about going, not wanting to be away from my friends for that long. Now I have no clue why I did. That place is literally heaven on earth. And after being unable to make it up there last year I was determined to get up there this year. We wanted to wait until after Winston got home and things calmed down a bit so we decided to go for Labor Day Weekend. 
We made the 6 hour drive late Friday night. Oh my gosh let me just say that traveling with my family is interesting. We didn't leave until 8:30 pm meaning we didn't get to the cabin until around 1:30 pm. We were exhausted to say the least. We went with my grandpa Brown and aunt Annabelle's little family. 
Olivia was in heaven even though she had her big cast on.
She loved tubing with the big kids, playing in the sand and teepee, and riding on the boat cheering everyone on.
We are so so grateful for wonderful family members to share this place with.
Some of my fondest memories were created here and I'm so excited that my children get the opportunity to create some of their own.

Enjoy the pictures!
There are a lot, especially of my Olivia. 
I seriously could not eliminate any of them no matter how hard I tried.

 Playing in the sand!

 Great grandpa held baby Clara so that I could go tubing!

Tanning on the dock.
A definite favorite of mine!


 Baby Clara wearing the very swimsuit I wore when I was a baby.
I've decided that baby stretches are the cutest!

 My precious little girl.

 She loved playing with the little fishies.




 Riding the jet ski with uncle Winston and aunt Soph.

 Taking another ride with grandma and Harrison.

 Going on a little boat ride to watch all the kids tube.

 She loved helping grandma pull the kids on the tubes.


 I'm in love with her eyelashes.





 Love that little curl.

 Precious baby Clara.


Olivia and Abigail.
They are pretty much exactly one year apart.
Apparently they are first cousins once removed ha. So we just call them cousins:)

 Entertaining everyone with the funny ugly face that she's so famous for!


 Love my girl.

 There's something about the cabin and how peaceful and relaxing it is. You really just want to sleep all day and all night and that's exactly what she did!

 There's that littlest baby!

 Me and my girls.
We sure missed daddy this trip.

 The crew.

The family with grandpa.
He's what makes the cabin so special:)

We are so blessed to have this perfect place to go to and I am seriously counting down the days until we're back.
