The Cabin - Part 2

We have just returned from the cabin - our second trip of the year. We took my family (The Kepo'o Ohana) for their first trip. It is a long drive with a lot of little kids....but we survived and had a blast! Helen (my sister-in-law) was very brave and came along with their new baby, Violet. She is only 4 weeks old. We are glad they came!

Our first day, we relaxed and went to the Hot Springs. It's fun to take people there for the first time because it is such a cool place and it's hard to describe what it's really like. Marc, Joe, Ryan and Lila all jumped off the big rock at the bend in the river - I can't believe that Lila was so brave! (I need to get more pictures from my families cameras....more evidence to follow)

We went to Red Fish Lake on Friday. The water is really cold when you first get in and out, but once you are in, it's nice. We bought a really nice baby carrier before this trip and Marc tested it out. He took Chloe on a hike around the edge of the lake. Here they are across the lake - can you spot the red backpack? Saturday we played at the cabin and did our chores - chopping wood & fixing and painting doors. I thought someone was dying every time Joe and Ryan went to chop a piece of wood but I guess they were getting a good workout! We played Shanghai every night. We also got into some intense Texas Hold 'Em matches. I would like to brag that I won the Texas Hold 'Em tournament - Marc, I'll just take the money out of our account. But Joe and Ryan better pay up! :)

Thank you to the Blaser's for letting me share the cabin with my family! And thank you to the Kepo'o's for letting me take you! It was so much fun to spend some time together as a family again.

The theme song for our trip has been provided by Ryan - he must have listened to this song 100 times. James Taylor "Blossom" This is for you Bro!
