Cabintastic

Once the bugs die off and the river warms, we spend more time up north at the cabin. We started the season off with a weekend trip to join Autumn, MacKenzie and the rest of the Axner/Wyckoff crew. A visit by a bat in the wood stove led us to tell fun ghost stories. Our next trip was a combination of visiting the Engels at Aspen Lodge and trip into the BWCA. It was the first time Cheddar ventured onto canoe waters. The paddle into camp was sunny and trouble free, perfect. On the way back, the wind picked up and Cheddar decided to jump ship. Luckily he was hooked into his life jacket for easy recovery. Aspen Lodge was filled with our usual skinny dip, cribbage and good food.

After two family trips, we took a bunch of friends up with us for the weekend. We spent our time playing lots of games while the dogs ran wild. Lastly, we had a chill weekend with the Becketts. With cold weather approaching, we cuddled up near the fire for some much needed relaxation.

The Circle of Life

Over the past couple of months, Rebecca's Nana and Trevor's Grandpa Jim passed away. Even though both grandparents led long and fulfilling lives, it was hard to say goodbye. Dealing with death prompted thoughts of getting old and the next stage of our life. As difficult as it is to move on, it's comforting to know that these changes also bring new, wonderful people into the world.

Here's to all our friends and family with new additions and to our grandparents for reminding us to cherish every part of life.
