It is a tremendous blessing to have a family cabin--a place to get away from the daily grind, the noise of the modern world, and enjoy uninterrupted time with loved ones. A few weekends ago we loaded up the car and headed west to Juniata County.
Even as a little girl, I loved the mountains. The rich loamy dirt, velvety moss, spicy woodsmoke and pine trees...the crunch of leaves under foot and the quiet gurgle of the stream. A playground with endless possibilities.
Most of the leaves had already fallen, but there were a few pretty ones left.
The weather was really mild, only in the 50's, so we didn't even keep the woodstove going. It was semi-rainy the whole weekend but no matter. The kids enjoyed stomping around in the woods all the same.
My girlie, making a sketch of the forest in her notebook.
Inside, the bunks made for fun play, especially for Adam our mountain climber. Coloring pages, stencils, books, and games filled the inbetween times. Pete now knows how it feels to have a 3 yr. old beat him at MEMORY! :-)
We all helped to collect some leaves to press for a school project Natalia had brought home. Families were encouraged to work together to decorate a turkey for the 1st grade's hallway bulletin board.
I just love that my husband and kiddos enjoy the mountains as much as I do! Till next time...

Ahhh. That looks so nice! However, I had to laugh at the picture of Pete playing memory! Maybe he lost 'cause he was reading a book! Ha ha!
