Backyard Fun

August 19th, 2009

With Peter and I spending lots of time together this summer, I thought I’d share just a few pictures of playing in the yard.

He’s very interested in the garden.  I’m afraid that the pumpkins might just eat him if he gets too close.1-feed-me2-ball3-car

Roommate Weekend

August 19th, 2009

It was that time once again.  221A re-united for some cabin fun.  Elliott, Lindsay, Kart, Kristen, Jon, Nicole, Lon, Jessica, Dan, Alicia, and Brayden all joined Dustin, Peter, Paul, Donna, and I for the weekend (and a passle of dogs).  There was lots of knowledge shared, with a few beverages too.  We spent lots of time around the campfire and on the boat.  I think the paddle boat got the most use it has yet.  Brayden even caught a fish.  Overall, it was a fun weekend!

Once everyone departed, we got to enjoy a little quiet time with just the three of us, and one visit from the dear old deer.

We actually didn’t get that many pictures of the weekend so if anyone else has some good ones to share, that would be great.

Bethy Weekend

August 19th, 2009

We’re a little behind on posting (because someone didn’t upload pictures for awhile).  So, July 25 was Miss Bethy’s birthday.  What better way to celebrate than going to the cabin and eating cake made by the one and only Annie?

Paul, Paul, and Peter (along with some others)

July 21st, 2009

Dustin helped Paul (Pop pop) with some antenna work at the cabin a few weekends ago.  I’m not sure what the ultimate goal was but they lifted it and moved it.  Paul did something to it on the roof and then they put it back.  I guess it was a success.

Paul (Wenzel) and Sarah were able to come to the cabin for a sort of weekend (Sunday through Tuesday).  They brought Sophie with them and we all had a good time.  Tanner (the local deer) came to visit again.  He must have left the little lady back at home.  He bonded with Peter for a little while after showing some interest in his breakfast.  We also made it to the sand bar for some fun in the sun and water.  Everyone, including the dogs, had a good time splashing around.

Peter went in for his 13 month appointment with the doctor.  He’s doing great and everything is right on track.  He’s 22.5 pounds of fury.  Poor thing got two shots, one in each leg, though and wasn’t a fan of either.  Then he had to go to the lab and have his finger pricked for a blood draw.  That wasn’t much fun either.  Afterwards Peter got some quality time hanging out with mom, even though the lure of Sesame street is a big one.

I may be a bit tardy with this, but here is a brief rundown of the fireworks on display at the cabin this year.  I’ll post the full set on flickr.

4th of July Weekend

July 8th, 2009

We had a very nice weekend up at the cabin.  Peter had lots of fun playing in the dirt and with Zoey, although they don’t always share the best.  We went into town to watch the parade.  It was a beautiful and hot day.  The parade was a little special but it was fun none the less.  We did see some awesome fireworks too but I’ll let Dustin pick what pictures he wants to put up of those.

Pictures of the Cabin

July 8th, 2009

I know there have been a few who have asked what this mysterious place actually looks like so here is a picture tour of the place we call the cabin. Most of these were taken recently but there are a few oldies but goodies thrown in for good measure.

I put the pictures first looking at the cabin and then walking in and towards the back.  Then there are a bunch of the outside.

Cabin Fun

June 23rd, 2009

It was a good weekend up at the cabin.  Dustin and I actually got to go up early Friday morning kidless.  It was nice but a little strange.   The rest of the crew came up later that evening.

Saturday we put Peter to work.  But then he decided to be done and play instead.  We went on the boat and cruised out to the sand bar.  Both Peter and Zoey had a good time exploring.

It was bath time Sunday evening.  He was a little too splashy and got moved outdoors.  It was a good thing we did the bath early because the cabin got two visitors later that evening.  Donna, it’s not the bunnies eating the hostas.  Also, we sacrificed some of the lettuce in the fridge (it didn’t look so fresh anyway).  They liked that but not pancakes.

And now for the pictures to go along with this post since it wouldn’t let me put them in with the words…
