For Memorial day we headed to the cabin in north Idaho for family, friends and some R&R. We left Seattle after work on Thursday and headed to our friends, Ben & Shannon, in Spokane for the night. On Friday morning we did some shopping at the Sprague Trading Co. Store for the weekend and then headed to the cabin. Jake, Molly and I had a night alone and then Ben, Shannon and their daughter, Ava, headed over to join us on Saturday afternoon. Molly and Ava really enjoyed playing together and got along well. There was lots of hanging out and watching the girls color, play dolls etc… Saturday evening Jake’s cousin, Tom, and Angela came down for dinner and, thankfully, brought us a replacement coffee pot! (I accidentally cracked the one that was there earlier in the day and we CANNOT get up without some coffee.) The next evening we were joined by family and friends for dinner at my grandma’s cabin next door. There were about 21 for dinner that night, it was a great time for all.
Molly and Ava both found throwing rocks into the lake to be a great way to spend the afternoon. The only difficult part of the whole weekend was leaving when it was over.
