June Trip to the Cabin

Over Fathers Day weekend we took a trip to the cabin with our friends Rob & Adrienne Ziebart and their two children Evan & Lauren and also Charles' brother Robert who drove down from Ohio. We had a wonderful trip & enjoyed some really nice family time together.

Charles with his cake, a delicious Boston cream cake made by a friend of mine

We spent one day tubing down the Toccoa River in Blue Ridge. The weather was absolutely perfect & there was only two other people tubing so it made for a perfect day. Charles, Olivia and I actually took the kayak down the river while Cameron was in a tub attached to Robert. It was pretty easy in the kayak besides the time we got stuck on some rocks going over a small rapid. Poor Olivia got so scared! She enjoys the tubing but does not like going over any rapids at all. Oh & Charles saved the day by rescuing a duck in the river who was caught by a fishing hook!
Here's a picture of us getting ready to start

Anytime we are at the cabin Cameron always loves to chop wood. This time Evan joined him and even Olivia did a little (with some help of course!)

Family dinner (eating some delicious food cooked over the fire!)

Fun with sparklers
Petting a baby bunny that Charles caught in the yard. It ran right out from a hole that was right by his foot! We all chased it around the yard before Charles caught it. The kids sure thought that was neat, lol! This trip was sure fun with animals, Robert saved a small turtle from the road and all the kids took turns holding it. 

We all went horseback riding the day before we left. This was our second time riding at this stable & I think Olivia and I got the same horse, lol! We enjoyed riding with the Ziebarts this time.
