Trip to the Cabin 7/15-7/18

We enjoyed a mini vacation (more like staycation since it's only an hour and a half away :) at the Cabin last weekend. Despite being there for 4 days, I didn't take very many pictures. With three active children, more adult hands and eyes are now required to keep an eye on them.
We enjoyed spending time throwing rocks into the creek
Carter (still with sleepy eyes) LOVED this activity!
He even sat in the freezing cold glacier/snow melt water creek.
Cristian trying to free a log that was stuck

And of course we enjoyed A LOT of time at the pool. Probably close to 3-4 hours each day!! Here's Carter swimming with Auntie.

Cristian playing with a torpedo water toy
And we roasted Marshmallows by the fire pit. Carter, again, was a big fan!
Although it was a lot less messy for him to just eat them straight out of the bag :)
Here is the view up the creek right outside our cabin
And a view down the creek (the cowlitz river starts right where that other cabin is)
Cristian loves s'mores!
Ava enjoyed all the pool time too!
Cristian made some new friends at the pool, 2 boys named Ben and Nick.
Carter swimming with Daddy in the kiddie pool. He could touch in the shallow end which was so fun for him to be able to walk around by himself.
Cristian enjoying a snack with Grandpa
Daddy and Ava swimming
Nannie and Auntie soaking in the sun!
Ava floating
She could take a nap like this :)
Cristian practicing his snorkeling for our upcoming Hawaii trip.
We also enjoyed playing at the park and playing tennis. This, however, is the only picture I got of either activity. Ava is pretty proud she can swing all by herself.
Grandpa and his 3 grandkids... super cute picture, minus the bunny ears. Can you tell he's in elementary school, LOL :)
Kyle, Cristian, and Carter with Mia doggy :)
The traditional picture of all of us around the camp fire.
Taking Mia for a walk one morning... one thing about being in the mountains, it may get hot during the day, but the nights cool off nicely!
Bye bye Mount Rainier... we'll be back soon. (View of mtn and foothills taken from inside our moving car)
