Family Retreat

Our little family needed a getaway. We have had to much of a roller coaster ride this summer and needed a break. There is no better place in our minds to get away to then the cabin. We packed up Friday night and headed out for a weekend of relaxation.

Blake surprised me for my birthday with a hammock. I have been wanting one ever since I saw our friends up camping with there's. Blake was jimmy-rigging something to get the hammock up in the tree and give it a try for the first time

Blake and Allie took off on a "KayKack" ride as Allie calls it, while I did this...

Lounged around in the hammock reading my book for a good hour

Later that afternoon we decided that we wanted to go pick huckleberries. We had read how good huckleberry picking was up near McCall, so a google search later, we were to our destination with endless bushes for us to pick. Allie started out in the back pack, but then quickly wanted in on the action

We enjoyed a few along the way and had a great time picking berries. We will definitely be back next year to pick till our bags are full. We had a great weekend and sufficient time to clear our minds and rejuvenate them for the days to come!
