A weekend at a cabin

We just came back from a lovely weekend at a cabin with my family!  It is the first time we have done something like this as a family.  We have done camping and extended family cabin trips, but never staying in a cabin at the lake by ourselves.  My parents celebrated their 30th wedding anniversary in fall and this was our gift to them.  I found this cabin as a private rental on Kijiji and it turned out to be very nice!  The weather was a cloudy and a bit rainy, but a cheery wood stove kept us comfy cozy inside and during the dry patches we took some short walks.  The guys still enjoyed canoeing in the rain with the white caps and also did a bit of fishing off the dock. 

Adalyn started walking this weekend too!  Yay!  So proud of her for stepping out!  :)  She's practicing a lot now that she knows she can do it.  She'll be a pro in no time!

Family photo session

Ok, so now it has been a while since I started this post and it is a couple of weeks out of date, but here it is!  We took some family photos a couple weeks ago.  My dear sister was kind enough to come over and take some pictures for us kind of spontaneously.  I really wanted to capture the beauty of spring time and our apple tree which was in full bloom! 

This is a bit deceiving as she was only standing for about 2 seconds for the picture.  :)
