Up North...

With the weather forecast looking gloomy and wet on Sunday, we decided to join Dave, Dorothy and Jillian for a day at the cabin. After a delicious brunch at Hudy's in Champlin, we hit the road and headed north.

It stayed dry for the first hour or so we were at the cabin, so we were able to enjoy a little walk and some outdoor time before heading into the cabin for lunch and card games. Due to a lack of planning on our part, Carter was toy-less for the day, but did great making due with the broom and some headphones and watching the Twins game.

Ger, Barb, Nikki and the kids were also up for the weekend, so we were able to spend some time visiting with them and seeing the bedroom/bathroom addition they're working on -- it looks great!! Luckily Gavin (who will be 3 in September) had his tool-set with him, so he showed Carter how to use his drill and saw. The two of them are going to have such a fun time at the cabin this summer!! Now we just need the weather to get warm and stay warm so we can enjoy more than just a day up there!

Last time we were at the cabin, Carter was barely able to crawl up the stairs -- he loved the freedom of getting up and down so easily now!
Carter and I -- we are all smiles to be at the cabin again!!
