drums are silent

The drums miss you, Jonas!

We miss you guys, but we hope you are having the time of your lives!!

clean house

The rooms are so clean and quiet!

Mom organized the toy closet, and it stayed organized!

Guest House

There is a couple ways to get to the guest house. This bridge is one of them. It goes from the slide area to the roof of the guest house which has a flat roof and some lounge chairs. This is the only air conditioned place.

The guest house entrance - also has a small balcony facing the lake with a couple of chairs and a table to sit at. So, there's the cabin, and then the guest house and then two little cabins that are basically like a bedroom - a bed and closet in each. One is down by the dock area and the other beside the hot tub area.

The guest house has a bed, a dining table, bathroom, and this kitchen here.

Cabin

Here is the fireplace in the livingroom. The windows face the hot tub and the lake.

The livingroom. It has some nice stonework - like the coffee table.

Behind the cabin is a nice patio, fireplace and barbeque area. There is also a trampoline on the grassy hill.

The little shack here is a storage shed.

Cabin pictures

An extra bedroom off the pool room complete with cool looking shower. There is one like this outside too by the hottub.

This is the room with the shower in it. There is also a much larger master bedroom with it's own bathroom and side office. Also a fair size bedroom with bunk beds and another bed.

These are grandkids of our friends currently renting the cabin and showing us around. See the cool fireplace?

There is a bit of a view of the dock in the background. There is a bedroom size outdoor cabin beside this hot tub. It's a very stuffy one though - no windows or air conditioning.

Slide to Lake at Cabin

Top of the slide, the picture makes the slide look shorter than it actually is. There is a hose to turn on so water runs down it too.

The little building on the right is a sauna.

There is a nice size dock with lounger chairs. There is a paddle boat and another quite old boat available too.

Ready for Florida

Here's the gang, ready for their vacation. How absolutely blessed these kids are to have Grandparents take them on a holiday like this! Also, a thanks to Cory and Tash for living in Florida, and giving them an excuse to travel. Also, thanks in advance for having these kids in your home.

Can you believe it's 6 a.m. in the morning? We're all up and awake - congratulations to us! What a beautiful day to start a holiday.

Gerald tried to squeeze into the van, but he didn't fit, so he decided to stay home. Okay, he's actually just saying good-bye to the kiddies - but a holiday right now sounds good! But, now here I'm stuck trying to figure out what to do in a quiet house with no kids. Anybody up for coffee? Breakfast? Lunch? How about a trip to the beach? Hmmm, I wonder how crowded the malls are these days? Maybe I'll scrapbook, or read, or weed the garden (mosquitos??), maybe I'll clean my rugs. Coffee anyone???
