Mini getaway.

Randy's older brother Rick just built a cabin about 2 hours South of where we live. The Slade family took a trip there to "break it in", but I wasn't able to go because that was the weekend of the race with my family. I was sad I missed out, I heard it's beautiful. Joelle, Rick's wife, has the best decorating taste and I was just dying to see it! Well, as luck would have it, I got my way.

Rick decided to build a skate ramp up at the cabin for his boys. He asked Randy for some help. I know what you're thinking.... skate ramp? So what, couple pieces of plywood with something underneath so the boys can catch some air? Uhhh, no. I could not BELIEVE it when I saw it! Randy went down one weekend to help Rick and they didn't get it all done, so Randy was going to go back in a couple of days to finish it. I felt like a little kid tugging on his shirt when I asked... "Can... we come with you?"

Rick said that was A-ok and so we packed up our bags and were off. We got there just as the sun was setting and it was GORGEOUS. The cabin is at the tip top of a mountain and has a stellar view. My favorite part of the cabin was the wrap around deck. And the lights. I turned them on first thing and Randy said, "I knew that would be your favorite part." :) Randy of course got out his hammock (he sleeps in it when he goes on camping trips with the Scouts, he pretty much takes it everywhere) to enjoy the scenery. Macey of course jumped in the hammock with Daddy. Collin of course pushed his push toy around the deck. And I of course got out my camera.
 

I didn't get any pictures of the cabin itself because I thought that might be a little weird to take pictures of someone else's house. Ha. But it exceeded my expectations! It was beautiful and in such a perfect spot! Thanks for letting me and the kids come and distract Randy a little, Rick and Joelle! :)
