Bucks Lake 2014

And here we are again, back from another cabin trip to Bucks Lake.  This is the one thing we've done as a family every year since Owen was born that has now become a tradition.

My top 5 highlights of this year's trip:
1. The car ride, both ways-- movies kept Owen busy, and we planned it so well that Logan napped most of the time.  No tears, no traffic, no problems.  Considering the last few long car trips were so miserable, this is a big milestone.
2. Seeing the big kids play together and have "adventures", just having fun on their own.  Watching Owen play like that reminds me of what it felt like when I played with my cousins on big family trips.
3. I read a book.  A whole book.  And not even a book about teaching.  Probably the first one since before Logan was born. (Divergent, finally, and now I can see the movie.)
4. Out of the past four cabin trips, I was either pregnant or breastfeeding for three of them.  This time I finally got to participate in the adult beverage fun.
5. The boys LOVED the lake.  Owen played in the water and in the sand, and Logan just kind of sat there at the shore taking it all in.  They loved it so much that they wouldn't get out of the water, despite the chattering teeth and blue lips.

Movie time = snuggle time for Logan

He didn't care about the movie, he just wanted to climb all over everyone and their sleeping bags

This picture makes me so happy because my boys were so happy :)
