A Weekend at the Cabin

My parents rented a cabin just outside of Beavers Bend for all of our family for the weekend. We had a wonderful time, and I have a ton of pictures to share with you!
This is the view of the cabin as you drive up. Notice all the tall, pretty trees around it! Ahh, nice!
This is the patio on the back of the cabin. It had a swing on it that was wonderful! The weather was pretty cool most of the weekend, so we spent a ton of time out on the patio just hanging out! It was wonderful!
This is the downstairs bedroom where mom and dad stayed.
This is the upstairs, loft bedroom where Casey and Lauren stayed.
And this is the other upstairs, loft bedroom where we stayed.
There were canoes that you could use, so we spent a lot of time riding in them and the guys went canoe fishing quite a bit.
Here is Caleb, Mimi and Auntie Lo at the top of the steps that led down to the river.
We even got Caleb in a canoe! He loved being on the river! Chris even rescued a huge turtle that was stuck in a trap, so that was fun entertainment for awhile. Caleb didn't like it when the turtle got free and started running around the canoe for a few minutes. It kind of freaked mommy out too. :)

The couch war is on!
Casey decided to take over the couch and won the fight. You see what I dealt with when we were kids! Geez!
