We traveled to Cable, WI where Paul's company owns a cabin they are free to use. "Cabin" does not mean what it used to, that is for sure. This lake house is located on 50+ acres on a lake that is fairly large, but it was sectioned off which means a lot of slow trolling motors and canoes-LOVED THIS! The lake house is located on a peninsula with awesome views of the lake from almost all the windows. It was a great place to make home for 2 1/2 days!
Heath and I both concluded on our drive home that this time together is the most normal we have felt in weeks/months. It was so nice to un-plug (except a few Michael Jackson videos I flipped on while feeding Rowan...love Thriller!) and just spend time doing whatever we wanted whenever. Brevin was on hyper-speed most of the weekend enjoying all our space had to offer. We spent a lot of time catching up and diving into deeper conversation with Kari and Paul (about our ear-rational judgements we have onto others). Paul cooked great meals for us and Kari was a great hostess.
Some highlights of the weekend:
- Our amazing weather which created amazing sunsets and sunrises (only because we were up with Rowan)
- Kari and I had a nice afternoon on the dock catching up girl style, while wildlife watching, we saw a snapper turtle RIGHT where we had been swimming the size of Brevin-WAY COOL!
- Brevin being brave and swimming in the lake with the big guys
- Heath and Paul in their boyhood glory jumping off the dock-specifically the synchronized cannon balls
- Kari and I saw a black bear on the way back from getting a few groceries in town, I <3>
- Kari had a rotating marshmallow stick that made us some yummy s'mores
- Canoeing
- The Brickhouse for lunch and the visitor's center and mastering the brain teasers
- The continuous fun and laughter
We are so thankful to have had this "normal" time away with our dear friends and can't wait to keep making the memories!
