the cabin: a random sampler

Thanks to my brother and his digital camera, I finally have pictures from our family's yearly vacation to our cabin in the great up north. This is the view from our dock looking out along the shoreline.

Peter being funny while the family attempts to take a family picture. Trust me, this was the best one.

Every year we go to a fabulous candy store and stock up on sugar. Aunt Diedra is letting Peter pick out saltwater taffy, which I'm sure his parents appreciated.

Uncle Garrett sporting his aviator glasses and what I termed "the T-Bird" (aka his chest hair).

Grandpa reading their favorite book The Magical Drawings of Moody B. Finch to the kids. This was one of our favorite books growing up, and Grandpa always brings it with him when he visits to read as a special treat.

Eleanor watching very closely as Grandpa cuts up dinner. Fishing is one of our favorite things, even if we aren't so good at it. We usually catch Northern Pike, which are good, although filled with bones.

Peter accidentally fell in the lake, which was quickly captured by Uncle Garrett. He is the sweetest and most cautious 4-year-old I have ever known, wearing usually 3 flotation devices at the same time. So he was not happy when he was dunked. We tried not to laugh.

Eleanor eating some goldfish crackers out on the dock. Somehow this is a very normal facial expression for her (kind of confused). It is adorable.
