Grandpa's cabin

It's been WAY too hot here so we decided to pack up and head to Grandpa's cabin for the 4th. It was an up and down trip. Both kids had colds so they were a mix of joyful and cranky. We did enjoy our stay though. Bill and Millie, Joyce, Matt and Allison were up there with Maddy and Vivian so the kiddos got to play with their cousins. It cracked us up how much more adventurous Cole and Sammie are in the woods when they are around their cousins. Maddy can navigate her way through that forest too. It's impressive! We ended up not going to any fireworks because the kids weren't feeling that great and keeping them up late to see something we can see every year seemed a little silly.
Then, on the way home Cole got sick and tossed his cookies IN THE CAR. We had to pull over and "wash" Cole in the spicket on the side of the building of this convienient store. That was a long, stinky drive home. Magically, both kids were so much better once we got home. Sammie has slept til 7:30 both days since we've been home! Something was in that mountain air I think.
