Remember our getaway from 2011? Well, we loved it so much there and wanted to get out of the house for a few days and drink in the peace and freshness of the country, that another trip was called for! This time we decided it would be a nice change of scenery for the Grannies as well, so up and away all eight of us went for the cabin getaway adventure of the year!
Day 1
Vanessa was the authorized driver
of our second vehicle -- scary isn't it?
Which consisted of stuff, stuff and... Johanna!
Our first meal at the cabin!
Johanna loved being able to sleep in the loft!
"Veni, Vidi, Vici!"
The beautiful lady that manages it all so smoothly
Dad took the first opportunity to head out to the fishing hole
Our rustic back porch (isn't the stove adorable??)
Our temporary backyard
Fishing time!
Grandma "D" caught something!
The first fish of the week!

Across the pond (the red dot in the background is our cabin)
Johanna's fish!
Grandma Lorry caught a big one!
Be sure to pause the background music
before watching the video clip below:
Notice the dark sky?
Out of nowhere (well the clouds for all you detailed scientists) it started pouring!
We were wet (but not cold)
Smiling through the rain
Who says you can't fish in the rain?
Johanna loved catching the minnows for bait
And here's another clip during the rain:
The tempest raged for only a short time, calming into a light drizzle
During the downfall, a 20 inch bass decided
he was hungry for Grandma "D"s minnow!
That's one big fish right there!

The sky after the rain
What an adventure!
We headed back to the ranch for some delicious grilling
The ladies waiting patiently at our outdoor restaurant for...
Shish kabobs!
Consisting of chicken, shrimp, bell peppers, onions and mushrooms
And for dessert? Apple crisp!
The happenin' place
Yummy to our tummies!
Last of all we surprised Mom with an early Mother's Day party
Johanna had the great idea of having a tea party!
She decorated the bag...and she's so proud of it :D
Stay tuned for Day 2 of our Cabin Getaway!
