Labor Day weekend 2017

We're back!!  Same cabin we came to twice in 2014.  Absolutely beautiful place!
Wildacre cabin near Chatsworth


Friday afternoon arrival

croquet fun

love the garden, lots of yummy stuff
bell peppers, tomatoes, eggplant 




Saturday morning, off to the creek they go
love that they can be kids and play!
what a wonderful big brother!!!


they had an alligator last time and the kids were so excited they still have one.  
They remembered and loved this guy

Saturday also included an afternoon snack of s'mores around the outdoor firepit. 
And in the evening, we cleaned up and settled in for football watching.

Sunday!
a super fun 4ish mile hike



the kids are getting pretty good at taking pictures of us too :)

us girls
and no, she's not eating Pringles, they're all gone, she's using the container for her collections!





Chloe and I had fun finding these letters on our hike

back to the creek!

two little adventurers
*This was when the kiddos and I walked up the creek exploring.  And I slipped and fell and bruised my knee and scratched up my wrist.  And when Abby wrote about this trip in school a month or so later, the two things she included in her story were the alligator float and Mommy falling!  
**Side note, that totally reminds me of when we took a trip to Destin when the kids were really little, and Ryan wrote about going to WhataBurger when he got back to school.  All the fun and crazy things we do, and it's usually the simple things they remember, probably a good life lesson in there somewhere!

 The old federal wagon road runs through the 40acre property
