Weeks 4 and 5 were spent at my parents Cabin in Sonora. The kids look forward to going up there every time we visit. Isaac remembered right when we drove up but even-though Elizabeth talked about it, she didn't remember anything there. She even told me that it wasn't a cabin but a house. I wonder what she thought a cabin was?
The kids LOVED going to the lake every day to swim and fish. Isaac was the master fisherman catching a fish everyday. I don't know who was more excited when the fish was hooked, him or my Dad? Both kids felt right at home in their life jackets and were jumping off the dock, going on the rope swing and swimming to the middle of the lake. William loved the lake too! He really enjoyed swimming and playing in the sand and dirt.
By the end of each day, the kids were so dirty and ratty looking that they looked homeless; an achievement that I take pride in since it means that they had a fantastic day!
We took a couple of day trips to Columbia State Park and to the Cover's Apple Farm which is ran by Mennonites. The kids like to bowl, ride the stagecoach, pan for gold, make candles and drink yummy Sarsaparilla when we go to Columbia. This was the first time that it actually occurred to Isaac that it was a historic town and he had an endless stream of questions about the "old people." At Cover's, the kids rode the train, looked at animals and had freshly made apple cider.
The last few day we were there, my parents went home and the Wuehler's came up for a visit; not all of them, but Jim and Jeanne, Paul, Melanie, Daniel and Jennifer. I was glad that they were able to come up and enjoy the simple pleasures of not being on the grid. We also went to Columbia with them and did all of the fun things again which made my kids happy. We had some more fun days at the lake and s'mores in the evening.
