Cabin Day 3: Sunset and sparklers

Sean captured a great sunset!

And the red-head was enjoying the sparklers!

Cabin Day 3: Grandpa's Trains

My dad has an amazing train setup at the cabin.  It literally takes up half of the basement.  All the grandkids love to drive the trains (and so do some of the rest of us).  I thought I would post a few pictures as I do not believe I have done so in the past.

This is the most recent building Dad has finished. He hasn't worked it into the layout yet.  Most of his buildings have lights and sounds.

This saw mill has always been one of my favorites

I wish the headlight had been turned on for this train, but still a cool video.  Dad built everything you see, including this amazing bridge :)

Cabin Day 3: On the lake

Ahhh the boat!  Always the highlight of the excursions.

This is the bridge that we drive over by the cabin, Ryan insisted that we drive the boat under the bridge.

Ryan's driving skills are improving!   This is the old train bridge that I think looks so cool.

We stopped at the boat ramp to see if Ryan and/or Eric would actually go in the water.  Surprisingly, both boys went in with Daddy.

This video cracks me up with Eric's two faceplants.

Ryan and Daddy swam back to the boat.  Ryan was non-too-thrilled about it, but I did get him to smile for a picture.

I can't believe we got Ryan to jump off the boat to Daddy!

On the way back to the cabin.  There are something like 50-60 switchbacks to get there.  Eric fell asleep and his head would flop from side to side on each swithback.  We took this at the very end when the switchbacks were farther apart, but you still get the idea.

Cabin Day 2: Water play

Grandma filled up the little pool for the boys to play in.  Eric had fun with the measuring cups, and Ryan was squirting everything in sight.  Neither of them would sit down in the pool though. Eric eventually poured a pitcher water on Grandma. Then Jen and I ended up in a water war with full pitchers of water being tossed back and forth.

Cabin Day 2: Waterfalls!

Every time we go to the cabin, we love to go hike the waterfall trail.  Ryan has been asking about the waterfalls for a month!

Here is the "rock" that Sean and Ryan always climb up on for a picture.  Well, Sean tried several times to get up there with the backpack carrier on, but couldn't quite make it.  Oh well, still a good picture :)

Down by the second waterfall there were hundreds of butterflies swarming around.  Here is one of the better pictures that Sean captured.

Back to the cabin! Day 1: at the park

Ahhh....back at the cabin for the better part of a week.

On Friday, Ryan wanted to go to the park in town, he and Eric both had a great time.
