I’ve mentioned it before. My favorite place. The cabin on the lake where we spent our childhood summers.
It was and is an amazing place.
It’s in the middle of NO WHERE (which I say with all affection, no where is a PERFECT place for the cabin to be).
Addie & Hay visited with me last May, but this was the first time to take all 3 kids and to be there together with the other kids we grew up with on the lake.
We visited with my 91 year old great aunt who is living there soaking up the summer sun, tending to her garden, and visiting with friends (and battleing 14 bats in her bedroom at night – I had to go to battle with ONE and nearly went nutty….). Did I mention, she’s 91??? She is a spitfire and one of the most amazing women I’ve ever known. I think the lake is secretly a fountain of youth….
We played with childhood friends, and our children played with their children. Where does the time go?? The newest addition was only 2 weeks old!!
We ate well.
We dressed in our Sunday finest.
We enjoyed all that the lake had to share with us.
On Sunday we packed up and headed home.
Reluctantly.
Until the next time we get to visit you, thank you for the wonderful summer vacation, and bringing us back to our childhood days!
Hoping to stay on track this week with posting, but as I’m still rocking on my sea legs (much time spent on a floating dock will do that to you…) we’ll see how that goes!
Wow! Am I jealous!! This looks like a fabulous place! And now you can spend it with your kids! How awesome!
Welcome back to the daily rind!
Come by when you can…

Ok that is just too beautiful not to share the location! I love that you have to take a sea plane in!

You live such an amazing life… one that I’d only read about in books! So adventurous… taking off with all 3 in tow to a deserted “secret” place on a (can I assume) SMALL plane… oh-my-gosh! Who are you!? And what fun memories you must have had growing up at that beautiful haven at the lake. So proud of you! Your adventurous spirit inspires us all!

Hey you – so love that your kids are now spending time up there – and soooo wanted to be there with all of you but couldn’t get a definite time line to see all of you at once – Next time no matter what.
My kids were soo jealous of the float plane travel, they only get the 10 hour road trip – just like in my child hood trips to the lake.
There is no way to tell people-even with pics- how wonderful the Lake is and the memories that have been created -Summer Xmas and the damn treasure hunt – :) I can still hear you 3 complaining -lol
Don’t know how many times I’ve sung the ‘frog’ song with uncle Broom – love you guys!
