We spent a few days at the cabin last week with my parents and packed in a lot of fun things!
My dad brought up some water guns and had the kids make a bunch of targets. Then he set up an obstacle course for them to run through and shoot all the targets! They had fun trying to get the fastest time.
The kids perfected their hula hoop skills:
On the first day the kids went exploring and found a cool "house" that had rooms for everyone and even a "flower room". They sat up there for hours drawing and playing. This is the doorway:
They also found this log that led to their secret tree house. I think it must have been something hunters used...
We went out on the lake a few times. The first time it started raining and cut our time short!
Landon enjoyed getting as dirty as he possibly could!
We went on a few hikes. The first was Cascade Springs, which was more like a walk, but really beautiful. The ranger had a scavenger hunt for us to do and the kids got Smokey the Bear whistles for completing it!
We also hiked to Silver Lake Reservoir on the horse trail. It was a longer hike (4 miles) but the kids were champs! They especially loved hiking through the stream!
Our second time at the lake was more successful!
