My parents towed their camper down to the cabin for a long weekend and with very little work to get done we all had a lot of fun.
On Friday when we arrived, Bridget enjoyed playing on the new saucer swing (which was a big hit) while I got all of the mowing done before mom and dad arrived. After getting the camper set up and eating lunch we found lots of things to keep the girls busy. I hooked up the ATV mower to get the oats mowed off and then walked all of the ATV trails to make sure everything was trimmed back and ready for some ATV fun.
For dinner we cooked hamburgers over the fire and followed that up with dough boys, one of my favorites. After taking showers and getting all ready for bed, we all went outside to watch grandma and grandpa set off a Chinese lantern. We all got a good nights sleep heading into a long day on Saturday.
In the morning, Grandpa and I worked on putting up a 22 foot section of privacy fence behind the cabin to act as a permanent screen for deer. It was a really hot day so there were a lot of breaks taken along the way. After lunch it was time for ATV rides. I took the girls to explore all of the freshly trimmed ATV trails and they really had a blast. Late in the afternoon we got out some water guns and a kiddie pool and the girls had fun cooling off with grandma. I took the opportunity to get out my bow and do a little target shooting.
Dinner was pizza pie irons, a little girl favorite, and smores for dessert. It was a late night as we headed into Agency to enjoy a fireworks show which turned out to be really good (I absolutely LOVE small town Iowa).
Sunday was a short day but we did manage some more ATV rides along with Abigail getting in some target shooting with dad's .22 with a scope. We played some washers in the shade of the apple orchard before everyone started packing up and getting ready to head for home. Weekends like this are EXACTLY what I pictures when I bought the cabin. Everyone had a great time and a lot of memories were made.
