Weekend in the Woods

We spent Memorial Day weekend at my mom and Big Daddy's cabin in Western Maryland. We always look forward to our time there. Daddy and the kids have a blast fooling around in the woods and playing in the creek and Nate and I have some time to relax with Ama and Ampa around. We even went out to dinner for our anniversary and...drumroll, please...saw a movie! Do you know how long it's been since we've done both...in one night? Yeah, me neither. Suffice it to say, it's been a long time.

We spent the weekend doing typical cabin-in-the-woods activities:

hiking to and playing in the waterfall,

picking flowers,

riding the ATV with daddy,

snuggling with Ama,

coloring,

going to the beach,

Look, I was there, too!

playing in the sand at the beach,

Juliana was having some issues with her pants
falling down so we 86'd them altogether. This is
her "I'm in my undies, oh yeah, oh yeah!" dance.
We are concerned about her teen years.

playing on the playground at the beach,

just being adorable, in general,


and wishing Ama the happiest 39th birthday ever!!*


Thanks for a great weekend, folks! Love you lots and lots!
