Day 15

So we have been up at the cabin now for 15 days (with a quick 24 hr to Phillips to freshen up the laundry). The kids have been having a blast. Though last Sunday was a pretty sad day since Aunt Heather, Uncle Allen & Baby Nolan left along with Uncle Mark, Aunt Brooke, Aunt Christi and Dad. Cole came up into the bunk house where I was putting Alexis down and said "Mom, I just wanted to tell you I love you" and gave me a big hug with tears in his eyes. It's always hard for him when everyone leaves at once.
But the week flew by and we did lots of playing in the water and running around. Then to Grandma and Grandpas for a quick trip which included dinner and then lunch at A&W!
Today we left late this morning to head into Duluth. We ran some errands and then picked up Daddy at the airport. After that we all (Eric, myself, the kids and Grandma) headed to the Lake Superior Zoo. It's a small zoo, trying to get back on it's feet. The kids had fun seeing all the animals. Cole's favorite animals were the Tiger & the Lions. Alexis liked the porcupine - he was rather silly sitting up in a tree.
We got back to the cabin with both the kids chanting "lake, lake, lake" as we drove down the lake road to the parking spot. We met Great Grandpa and headed over to the island.
Dinner was quick, PJ's were on, and they are now in bed (and suppose to be sleeping!)
Cole had to have me get Eric. He says to me "Mom, I need dad. I have to tell him something, something that isn't for girls to hear." He's so funny. Eric came out and they had a chat...and after Eric left Cole wanted to make sure that I didn't hear what they were talking about. Apparently it was totally top secret.
We have 10 days left up here before we are home for a quick 4 days. Cole told me today that he wants to stay at the cabin "FOREVER!!" And no, the all caps and exclamation marks are not over exaggerating.
I'll try to get some pix posted in the next few days. I need to really get moving on the scrapping...I'm SOOO far behind. But then do you ever really catch up?
