Relaxing Weekend at the Cabin?

The second weekend in June we went up to the cabin with mom and dad.  Aaron had another project to do.  Of course he loves working on the cabin.  Can't wait to see what he does when we are up there later on? 

We got up there on Friday night late.  Mom and dad had gone up earlier in the week.  Saturday morning Aaron and dad tore the back stairs off and put up a board so we wouldn't just walk off the deck.  Smart idea I think some of us forgot they were gone and would have.  Saturday despite the wind, dad and Aaron were able to get the cement poured.  I don't think I have ever seen or at least heard the wind that strong up there.  We were very blessed not to have any trees fall on the cabin. 

Sunday against Aaron's wishes we all went to church.  He had decided it would be okay to have a day off.  But I won out and we went.  Sunday was a beautiful day.  Of course, we knew it would be; day of rest.  Well Aaron did get the boards ready for Monday.  While he was staining them we happen to see a beautiful blue bird come out of the big birdhouse by the back deck.  Unfortunately the next morning we didn't see to much of them so we are afraid the little birds that nest in the birdhouse on the deck scared them away.  Hope not.  They were sure beautiful. 

Monday was a beautiful day!!! 

Monday morning at 7:30 mom was sitting by the window watching the river and happened to see an otter.  Aaron was so excited, but wished there would have been more.  After that (about 10 am) Aaron and dad started working on the back stairs. It didn't take long and they were finished.  Aaron let Marissa be the first one to walk on them.  Mom had a great time trying them out too.  They are beautiful.  Aaron did a great job designing them. 

Monday we were able to sit on the front deck and watch the river once the stairs were done.  Of course we also had fun mowing the lawn. There is something that makes work seem like fun at the cabin. Even Marissa seemed to like mowing the lawn up there. Tuesday we headed home and mom and dad stayed in the rain.  It was a great time at the cabin.  Thanks mom and dad and Aunt Carol for letting us go up so Aaron could work on the stairs.
