Cabin in the woods

This weekend we went up to Grandpa's cabin in Prescott. We have gone up before but never for a whole weekend. The last time we tried Sammie was Cole's age and WOULD NOT sleep. Not in the pack'n play, not in the bed, not anywhere so we ended up packing it up and driving home in the middle of the night and I was done.
Well, happy to say, this time was nothing like that. Kids slept great (they were up with the sun at 5:00-but slept!), played with cousins, went for rides on Gpa's mule (vehicle-not animal!!!) We had a fabulous time and plan on spending some serious time up there this summer.
Some highlights: Sammie and Cole going on rides in the mule, seeing Sammer play with her cousins Maddy and Vivian, Cole looking for bears in the forest, hikes, finding lizards, listening to Sammie snore all night long, hunting pinecones, and looking at the night sky in complete darkness.
I hope that we can create some great memories for Sammie and Cole. I have such great memories of playing up at my grandparents cabin, playing with cousins, family dinners, riding horses, good times.
Here are just SOME of the pictures I took:)
