Family Weekend At The Lundberg's Cabin

We had such a fun weekend at my Aunt Maureen and Uncle Larry's Cabin last weekend. My cousin Kristi and her husband Kyle and their adorable little boy Brady were all in town from Montana. It was so much fun hanging out with them! They have the cutest little cabin with a wonderful sauna and the clearest spring fed lake water you have ever seen! I have so many fond memories at the cabin from when I was a kid...it was fun seeing my kids having so much fun & creating lots of fond memories with their second cousins. The weekend was a bit bittersweet though. My Uncle Larry was just diagnosed with stage IV lung cancer last Monday. He starts chemo this week....we are praying that it will buy him more quality time. My Grandma was also diagnosed with stage IV lung cancer in March. We are definitly thankful for wonderful weekends like this to enjoy time with them The picture above this one is my favorite "jump" picture! I cannot tell you how many times Bren & Parker jumped off the dock but it had to have been hundreds! We all went swimming..the water was sooo warm & it's so nice & clear. The sauna was HOT...but perfect for taking a 'cabin bath'. Brady & Nash had fun swimming too....I bet next year they too will be jumping off the dock.

This picture is my favorite fishing pic of the weekend. The boys had a blast fishing off the dock. The water is so clear that you can see all the little sunfish swimming around. You can pretty much pick out which fish you want to catch & throw the line in & get it. Nash was especially excited about all the fish he caught. If you asked him how many he caught...it was his typical numerical response "four-nine-seven"!

This one is of Bren taking a time out on the "naughty step". Little did he know that cabins have naughty steps too!

Kristi, my brothers & I used to have endless sap boat races when we were kids. You just take a little stick and pop a sap sack off a pine tree and then put it in the water. It was fun to create these little sap boats and Nash & Bren thought they were pretty cool too. The colors were amazing...if I had a clue how to use my fancy camera I probably could have gotten some pretty neat pictures!

The whole family (minus Derrick & Michell & Sam in Montana) came up on Sunday. We had a delicious fish fry. My Uncle Larry & cousin David are crazy fisherman & always catch a ton of delicious fish. It was fun having everyone there. I also have to mention that on Saturday we were lucky to have Kyle's freakin' awesome ribs...he cooks ribs like no other. Hands down the best I have ever had!!!! Did I mention all the delicious food we ate? Nothin beats cabin food!!

The weekend ended beautifully with me WINNING the CHAMPIONSHIP game of Querkle (not sure how to spell it). My Aunt Maureen & Kristi are pretty fierce competitors so it was awesome to go home with the win! I am making a special trip to Target today to buy the game. It's so fun!

We had such a wonderful time at the Lundbergs cabin & are thankful to have been able to spend it with our family! Please keep my Uncle Larry & my Grandma Mabel in your prayers.
