The cabin was in the middle of the forest. There were trees all around, a fire pit, lots of critters flying/scuttering, and best of all, there was some wonderful DIRT next to the house. Generations of little boys had played this dirt into JUST the RIGHT consistency!
We played and we played. Between the sun screen and bug spray our Mommas covered us in, and the little bit of sweat boys always manage to produce, we got INCREDIBLY dirty. And BOY did we LOVE it!
One of the days we hiked to a natural soda spring. I think Holden and I both expected something else...
...the water was fizzy and bitter... NOT fizzy and sweet!
When we got back to the cabin, we were greeted by a surprize: we had left a bag of peanuts out on the table. It USED to be full. By the time we got back, the chip munks/ ground squirrels/ squirrels had nearly emptied the bag, and had strewn peanut shells ALL over the site! Those little guys were BOLD too, even when we got back and sat down, they still kept coming to get more nuts to stuff in their cheeks.
We had such a fun time running around in the forest.
And we had a ton of fun throwing rocks into the water, and fishing in the river too. Some of the time we tried doing both at once.
What a fun weekend this was!!!!
