~the mountains~

this past weekend we got to go to the king cabin.

in potter county.

it's a "cabin" that was purchased by matt's grandpa

long, long ago...

when it took forever in those days to actually get there.

today...it takes about 5 hours...unless you drive an average

speed of about 80 mph,

which we do...and then we get there in about 4. ;)

currently, there are about 20 "male" members.

no female members allowed.

i think there are some pretty bogus rules in the

by-laws...but it doesn't matter what i think...first...

a) because i married in, so i am not "really" a king

and second...b) i am a woman.

kidding. kidding.
(well...maybe partly kidding).

these kings. ;)

okay...so on to our weekend:

it was the first time that matt's immediate family...

he, his parents, and brother

have been to the cabin together since the boys were teenagers.

eeeekkkk.

hope it's not that long until we return again as a family...

aldie and judy,

matt and i, kaden, kaycee, campbell and calli, and

mark, jamie, and rhiannon.

always fun to retreat to the quiet of the king cabin

lady bugs and all.

our highlights:

~ playing with rhiannon

~ eating and relaxing

~ reading...well...mostly missy. :)

~ target shooting

~ hiking

~ watching our pod boats float down the river

~ the warm weather friday

~ indoor volleyball (moppy's invention...a homemade net with a balloon).
